Das Gen-ethische Netzwerk (GeN) vermittelt seit 1986 Informationen und Kontakte zu Gen-, Bio- und Reproduktionstechnologien. Seit dieser Zeit gibt das GeN den Gen-ethischen Informationsdienst (GID) heraus, der im Jahr zuvor gegründet worden war und heute zweimonatlich erscheint. Der GID berichtet als einzige Zeitschrift in Deutschland gleichermaßen kritisch und wissenschaftlich fundiert in den Bereichen Landwirtschaft & Lebensmittel, Mensch & Medizin sowie Politik & Wirtschaft über diese Technologien. Das GeN nimmt außerdem Stellung zu aktuellen politischen Prozessen, führt Veranstaltungen durch und unterstützt andere Initiativen bei ihrem Engagement. ... [Information des Anbieters]
BioSharing works to map the landscape of community developed standards in the life sciences, broadly covering biological, natural and biomedical sciences. . As part of the growing movement for reproducible research, a growing number of community-driven standardization efforts are working to make data along with the experimental details available in a standardized manner. BioSharing works to serve those seeking information on the existing standards, identify areas where duplications or gaps in coverage exist and promote harmonization to stop wasteful reinvention, and developing criteria to be used in evaluating standards for adoption. ...

Mining Biodiversity is one of the projects that won in the third round of the transatlantic Digging Into Data Challenge, a competition aiming to promote the development of innovative computational techniques that can be applied to big data in the humanities and social sciences. The Mining Biodiversity project aims to transform the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) into a next-generation social digital library resource to facilitate the study and discussion (via social media integration) of legacy science documents on biodiversity by a worldwide community and to raise awareness of the changes in biodiversity over time in the general public. The project integrates novel text mining (TM) methods, visualisation, crowdsourcing and social media into the BHL. The resulting digital resource will provide fully interlinked and indexed access to the full content of BHL library documents, via semantically enhanced and interactive browsing and searching capabilities, allowing users to locate precisely the information of interest to them in an easy and efficient manner. ...

ModBase is a database of comparative protein structure models, calculated by our modeling pipeline ModPipe. ModBase contains theoretically calculated models, not experimentally determined structures. The models may contain significant errors. [Information of the supplier, modified]
This website provides a current list of membrane protein structures determined by x-ray and electron diffraction with links to the Protein Data Bank and other useful sites. Although this database emphasizes structures determined by diffraction methods, some NMR structures are included as well. [Information of the supplier, modified]
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory is a non-profit organisation and a basic research institute funded by public research monies from 18 member states. Research at EMBL is conducted by approximately 80 independent groups covering the spectrum of molecular biology. The cornerstones of EMBL's mission are: to perform basic research in molecular biology, to train scientists, students and visitors at all levels, to offer vital services to scientists in the member states, and to develop new instruments and methods in the life sciences, and technology transfer. ...
