Australian Collections in the EMBL Australia Bioinformatics Resource

Brief description

The EMBL Australia Bioinformatics Resource, located at The University of Queensland, provides an Australian-based entry to many of the data services of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). The EBI is an institute within the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and is the world's premier life sciences data resource.

Five collections of nucleotide and protein sequences derived from Australian dwelling plants and animals (identified through the Atlas of Living Australia's instances of the Australian Faunal Directory and the Australian Plant Census) are available from within the EMBL-EBI database.

These data collections contain all current internationally published nucleotide and protein sequences derived from Australian dwelling (native and common/significant introduced (e.g. crop/weed/feral)) organisms and are structured using a taxonomical hierarchy to facilitate searching by species.
