ELIXIR-UK announces seven new services

27 September 2021

Following the 2021 call for new services, we are pleased to announce seven new ELIXIR-UK services. These were selected by our panel to ensure high service quality and match UK priorities as identified by its funders.

The successful services were: FlyBase [FlyBase], NEOF [University of Liverpool (NERC)], FAIRcookbook [Oxford University], KnetMiner [Rothamsted], COPO [Earlham Institute], VEuPathDB [University of Liverpool] and WorkflowHub [University of Manchester]. Three of these, KnetMiner, COPO and VEuPathDB, were elevated from roadmapped to full ELIXIR-UK services.

We received a number of high-quality applications and are proud to be representing the best of the UK life science data resources. The successful services will now benefit from their status as ELIXIR-UK services and will be able to apply for funding from the ELIXIR Hub and beyond. 

We have also roadmapped three services, iHUB [University of Nottingham], Missense3D [Imperial College London] and Cafe Variome [University of Leicester], which are well on their way to being infrastructure-ready. These services will be revisited and reassessed at our next call in 2022.

Congratulations to all of our new services!
