Welcome, Mar Gonzalez-Porta 🇪🇸, our new Team Leader for the @enasequence.bsky.social & BioSamples. Her biggest challenge? Managing a rapidly growing data volume, equivalent to 4,000+ years of streaming, while keeping both resources trusted and community-engaged. www.embl.org/news/perspec...

A new report puts a number on what open data is worth. £11.8bn/year The ENA's piece of that picture: petabytes of nucleotide sequence data, permanently archived and freely accessible the sequence layer beneath it all. Open data works because it's infrastructure. Proud to be part of it.

Life science research depends on global access to sequencing data but this only works when everyone speaks the same technical language. Find out how the INSDC has updated its specifications to simplify data submission for better synchronisation across its partners. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/a...

New specifications for submitting nucleotide sequence data

New INSDC standards support simpler submissions and improve synchronisation of global genome sequence data.

We’re seeing delays in ENA assembly processing & INSDC data exchange outwards due to a surge in recent submissions. Processing should return to normal soon, but we can’t give a timeline for assembly exchange with INSDC partners. Thanks for your patience updates will follow once normality is restored

Listen to the latest episode of #GenomicConnections featuring Joana Pauperio, Biodiversity Curator at @enasequence.bsky.social She joins @ergabiodiv.bsky.social to discuss the power of metadata and how it supports #FAIR data in biodiversity genomics. @biogeneurope.bsky.social

Great Day's science visit to @enasequence.bsky.social

ENA is having its annual facilities day event! We kicked off the day getting our guests to break into groups an designing some flags they felt represented their groups!

A crisp Cambridgeshire morning. Great to be in Hinxton for the @enasequence.bsky.social Facilities Day to discuss @pathoplexus.org and database interoperability

You may have noticed that we have A LOT of posts on our feed. We have imported all our Tweets into BlueSky to make it easier for users to find their favourite posts! Please be aware, although these were all posted today, they will be marked with a "date archived" date when they were originally made

To all my extended colleagues across the extended science social-verse, @enasequence.bsky.social is also available to be followed. Content and posts pending planning!

The ENA is proud to be recongised by @globalbiodata as a core resource for the life sciences. We continually strive to provide a resource of the highest utility to our community and champion the value of open data. https://twitter.com/globalbiodata/status/1812738357270577204

The @ENASequence is truly delighted to have worked with it's partners and build this new membership program. New members will bring a truly global perspective to the INSDC and help work towards more equaitable open data sharing in genomics. https://twitter.com/emblebi/status/1792577262778290686

Very excited to share our recent publication in @MicrobioSoc Microbial Genomics describing collaborative efforts in analysing data from the European COVID-19 Data Platform. https://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/updates-from-data-resources/data-hubs-pathogens/

Using Data Hubs to analyse SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogen sequences

The SARS-CoV-2 Data Hubs are a set of tools coupled with infrastructure that support four components: the submission, analysis, presentation and visualisation of SARS-CoV-2 raw read data, and its resulting analyses. What makes Data Hubs attractive is a unique set of features: A new publication in…

🚨🚨Service Announcement🚨🚨 From the 1st of September 2023 the ENA will be placing a rate limit on it's data retrieval APIs. After this date, rates will be limited to 50 requests per second which, if breached, they will be rejected with a "Too Many Requests" error.

Are you going to #ISMBECCB2023 ? The @ENASequence will be there, and we’re looking to engage with people who use our services! We’re also running a survey on how you use ENA Data! https://forms.gle/hZRjcpEnjGhAaVKCA

ENA Data Use Survey

Thank you for taking the time to complete the ENA data use survey. This survey is designed to better understand and improve the ENA data retrieval experience of users. It should take approximately 9 minutes to complete.
