ELIXIR-UK is the national Node of ELIXIR in the United Kingdom, the intergovernmental organisation that brings together life science resources from across Europe. ELIXIR-UK leads life science organisations in managing and safeguarding the increasing volume of data being generated by publicly funded research. It coordinates, integrates and sustains bioinformatics resources across its members and enables users in academia and industry to access services that are vital for their research
The UK Node supports life science data with training and services that help the research community discover, distribute, analyse, and store data, exchange expertise and agree on standards.

What do our current members have to say?

“An ELIXIR Implementational Study stimulated our development of a real-time link to use the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) REST server to map variants input by the user in a genomic coordinate system onto the proteins structures we display in our database.”

“LIPID MAPS contributes to the ELIXIR metabolomics community and my own interests in Research Data Management have positioned me to lead the ELIXIR-UK’s Data Management Working Group. ELIXIR-UK has enabled us to curate lipid structures and pathways in partnership with other ELIXIR data resources in Europe. Additionally, I have been able to co-Lead our recent successful UKRI bid to develop training in FAIR Research Data Management.”
