EBI databases

The main missions of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) centre on building, maintaining and providing biological databases and information services to support data deposition and exploitation.



Some of the EBI databases include:

European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) - Europe's primary comprehensive nucleotide sequence data resource.

UniProt Knowledgebase - A complete annotated protein sequence database.

       UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: An annotated protein sequence database (Reviewed).
       UniProtKB/TrEMBL: A computer generated protein database enriched with                                                                                 automated classification and annotation (Unreviewed).


Protein Databank in Europe Database (PDBe) - European Project for the management and distribution of data on macromolecular structures.

ArrayExpress - Gene expression data.

Ensembl - Providing up to date completed metazoic genomes and the best possible automatic annotation.

IntAct - Provides a freely available, open source database system and analysis tools for protein interaction data.

Patent Data Resources:  Patent data resources at the EBI contains patent abstracts, patent chemical compounds, patent sequences and patent equivalents. There are various ways of accessing and searching the patent data.

Gene Ontology Annotation (GOA): Provides assignments of proteins in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, UniProtKB/TrEMBL and International Protein Index (IPI).

InterPro: A database of integrated documentation resources for protein families, domains and functional sites.

Chemical Entities of Biological Interests (ChEBI): A freely available dictionary of 'small molecular entities'.

Databases A-Z - A complete listing of all the EBI databases.

We have many other databases available including literature citation databases such as Medline.
