Featured channel
ELIXIR is the European life-science infrastructure for biological data. It brings together Europe’s major life-science data archives and, for the first time, connects these with national bioinformatics infrastructures throughout ELIXIR’s member states. The ELIXIR gateway publishes articles that describe the ELIXIR platforms (Tools, Data, Compute, Interoperability, Training) and Use Cases (Marine, Plants, Rare Diseases and Human data), ELIXIR strategy documents, technology developments and reviews. It will also publish reports and deliverables of ELIXIR-funded projects (EXCELERATE), as well as posters and slides presenting ELIXIR activities.
