The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena ) is Europe's primary nucleotide-sequence repository. ENA consists of three main databases: the Sequence Read (SRA), Trace and EMBL-Bank. objective to support promote use nucleotide sequencing as an experimental research platform by providing data submission, archive, search download services. In this article, we outline these services describe major changes improvements introduced during 2010. These include extended EMBL-Bank...
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena), provided from EMBL-EBI, has for more than three decades been responsible archiving the world's public sequencing data and presenting this important resource to scientific community support accelerate global research effort. Here, we outline ENA services content in 2018 provide an overview of a selection focus areas development work: extending coordination around ENA, sequence submissions through template expansion, early...
For 35 years the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena) has been responsible for making world's public sequencing data available to scientific community. Advances in technology have driven exponential growth volume of be processed and stored a substantial broadening user Here, we outline ENA services content 2017 provide insight into selection current key areas development by challenges arising from above growth.
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/) collects, maintains and presents comprehensive nucleic acid sequence related information as part of the permanent public scientific record. Here, we provide brief updates on ENA content developments major service enhancements in 2012 describe more detail two important areas development policy that are driven by ongoing growth sequencing technologies. First, data warehouse, a resource for which programmatic entry point to...
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena) offers a rich platform for data sharing, publishing and archiving globally comprehensive set onward use by the scientific community. With broad scope spanning raw sequencing reads, genome assemblies functional annotation, resource provides extensive submission, search download facilities across web programmatic interfaces. Here, we outline ENA content major access modalities, highlight developments in 2016 number of examples...
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena) is a repository for the world public domain nucleotide sequence data output. ENA content covers spectrum of types including raw reads, assembly and functional annotation. has faced dramatic growth in genome submission rates, volumes complexity datasets. This prompted broad reworking services, which we now reach end major programme work many enhancements have already been made available over year to components service. In this...
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena) is a repository for the submission, maintenance and presentation of nucleotide sequence data related sample experimental information. In this article we report on ENA in 2015 regarding general activity, notable published sets major achievements. This followed by focus sustainable biocuration functional annotation, an area which has particularly felt pressure sequencing growth. importance how it can be submitted shifting role...
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena) is Europe's primary resource for nucleotide sequence information. With the growing volume and diversity of public sequencing data comes need increased sophistication in organisation, presentation search services so as to maximise its discoverability usability. In response this, ENA has been introducing improving checklists use during submission expanding facilities provide targeted results. Here, we give a brief update on...
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena), Europe's primary nucleotide sequence resource, captures and presents globally comprehensive nucleic acid associated information. Covering the spectrum from raw data to assembled functionally annotated genomes, ENA has witnessed a dramatic growth resulting advances in sequencing technology ever broadening application of methodology. During 2011, we have continued operate extend broad range services. In particular, released major...
Walking is often cited as the best form of activity for persons over age 60. In this paper we outline development and evaluation a smart garment system that aims to monitor wearer's wellbeing regimes during walking activities. Functional requirements were ascertained using combination questionnaires two workshops with target cohort. The subsequently mapped onto current technologies part technical design process. second round evaluations prototype three-phase iterative cycle. was undertaken 6...
Accelerometers are widely accepted as practical wearable devices capable of measuring and assessing physical activity. These may, however, be subject to errors which could impact on their ability acquire an accurate step count. A limited number studies have examined the effects body mass index (BMI) accuracy accelerometers functioning counters. It has been suggested that BMI may not best indicator adiposity. The aim present study was assess abdominal volume a count obtained from tri-axial...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects accelerometer placement, within practical constraints a smart garment, for purposes monitoring gross levels activity. Experiments involved collection data from three participants who were instructed walk on motorized treadmill at speeds two, and four miles per hour. Accelerometers placed specially designed harness in an array like configuration around torso. Data obtained accelerometers attached directly body those clothing compared....
