Genomics

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

BioSamples integrates metadata from major EMBL-EBI archives like ENA, ArrayExpress, and EFG.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail technical enhancements in the BioSamples database.
To showcase improved user experience and increased sample registration capabilities.
To illustrate the utility of BioSamples in connecting multi-omics data and creating data portals.

Main Methods:

Technical updates focused on scalability and user interface improvements.
Development of new features to support diverse data integration.
Documentation of four use cases demonstrating community adoption and application.

Main Results:

Successful implementation of technical updates leading to better performance.
Enhanced sample registration and data discoverability.
Demonstrated value through successful use cases in multi-omics data integration and portal creation.

Conclusions:

BioSamples is a vital, evolving resource for biological sample metadata management.
The database facilitates data sharing and reuse, adhering to FAIR principles.
Ongoing development ensures BioSamples remains a central hub for life science data.
