Data Mining, Quality and Management in the Life Sciences

With the evermore emphasis put on open science and its invaluable benefits to the scientific community, it is no longer the case where a research project simply ends with a scientific publication. The benefits of data sharing and reproducibility of results have taken the centerpiece within the life science research supported by FAIR principles that firmly underline the importance of open data. The current data-intensive multidisciplinary research has also highlighted the significance of how data is mined and managed. Here we describe some of the features adopted by EMBL-EBI data resources to support data mining, data quality, and data management. We also highlight how EMBL-EBI has responded to the current pandemic through its data resources.
