AAI production

There are two direct AAI Implementation Studies and a number of others that are associated with the project (links at the bottom of this page).

2017 Implementation Study assessed the operation of the ELIXIR AAI, including

A microbial metabolism resource for Systems Biology

The microbial world provides an abundant source of biological catalysts for chemicals of medical and economic interest such as pharmaceuticals and biofuels. However, a sustainable resource for systems biology, that integrates experimental and predicted data on microbial metabolism, is still lacking. This Implementation Study defines the requirements for a European Bioinformatics resource for microbial metabolism as well as providing a practical demonstration of how existing funded resources from ELIXIR partners could be integrated to meet those needs.

Towards a distributed Ensembl

This Implementation Study shaped the development of a distributed model for Ensembl, whereby multiple ELIXIR Nodes use common infrastructure to provide an integrated service to users, each focused on their own areas of interest and expertise.

This approach will increase the quality of available data, and simplify data access for users by allowing the participation of many Nodes in a single service. The study is a natural complement to Task 10.3 "Capacity Building in Genome Assembly and Annotation" in the EXCELERATE project.

ELIXIR Events Officer (Maternity cover)

The ELIXIR Hub in Hinxton, UK is seeking an Events Officer (Maternity cover) to join the team.

The main purpose of the ELIXIR Events Officer role is to ensure that ELIXIR events are organised and delivered with accuracy, effective scheduling, clarity on logistics and overall operational excellence. ELIXIR is responsible for the delivery of many onsite and offsite workshops, conference exhibitions and closed meetings with internal and external stakeholders. The role will support the organization of many events funded through European Commission programmes. It will also support the implementation of ELIXIR’s Innovation and SME programme through event organization and communication.
