What is the EBI?
The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is a non-profit academic organization that forms part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). It is Europe’s leading centre for research, services and training in bioinformatics. The EBI’s mission is to ensure that the growing body of information from molecular biology and genome research is placed in the public domain and is accessible freely to all facets of the scientific community in ways that promote scientific progress. It does this by fulfilling four broad functions: supplying information to biologists across the globe through its databases and other resources; state-of-the-art bioinformatics research; training; and supporting companies through its Industry Programme.
