This site provides short and concise introductions to basic concepts in molecular and cell biology and bioinformatics. The main emphasis is placed on making it as easy as possible for the user to understand which tools and databases are available from the EBI and from sites belonging to its collaborators. The site content aims to make these services easier and more accessible but also provides links to other sites where similar resources are maintained and well supported. ...

The Science Environment for Ecological Knowledge (SEEK) is a five year initiative designed to create cyberinfrastructure for ecological, environmental, and biodiversity research and to educate the ecological community about ecoinformatics. SEEK participants are building an integrated data grid (EcoGrid) for accessing a wide variety of ecological and biodiversity data and analytical tools (Kepler) for efficiently utilizing these data stores to advance ecological and biodiversity science. An intelligent middleware system (SMS) will facilitate integration and synthesis of data and models within these systems. The three components of the SEEK cyberinfrasture are: (1) the EcoGrid, (2) a Semantic Mediation system, and (3) an Analysis and Modeling system. These infrastructure components will be built with input and participation from three SEEK working groups: (1) Knowledge Representation, (2) Biological Taxonomy and Classification, and (3) Biodiversity and Ecological Analysis and Modeling. ...

Our goal is to systematically investigate the mechanisms of cancer development and to identify cancer risk factors. The results of this basic research are expected to be developed into new approaches in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. The German Cancer Research Center is a foundation under public law and a member of the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centers (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren). As a national research center it is financed by the Federal German Government and the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg. In addition, the Center is part of the cooperative association of the Tumor Center Heidelberg/Mannheim. ... [Information of the supplier]
The functions and services of the DPZ concentrate on biological and biomedical research with primates, comprising topics which may result in conclusions concerning human physiology and behavior. The DPZ is also dedicated to the preservation of nonhuman primates by improving methods for the management and breeding of animals in captivity. ... [Information of the supplier]
As Europe’s leading research center focused on environmental health, the Helmholtz Zentrum München is investigating the complex interactions between genetic disposition and environmental factors in the development and progression of chronic diseases. By elucidating the interaction mechanisms between environmental and lifestyle factors and biological systems, we expect to develop innovative approaches for the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of disease processes. Our main focus is on chronic diseases of the respiratory tract and the immune system. We are also contributing to research on cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. As a national competence center, we are also responsible for tasks in radiation research and protection. ... [Information of the supplier]
