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. ...

The new J. Craig Venter Institute was formed in October 2006 through the merger of several affiliated and legacy organizations--The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and The Center for the Advancement of Genomics (TCAG), The J. Craig Venter Science Foundation, The Joint Technology Center, and the Institute for Biological Energy Alternatives (IBEA). Today all these organizations have become one large multidisciplinary genomic-focused organization. With more than 500 scientists and staff, more than 250, 000 square feet of laboratory space, and locations in Rockville, Maryland and La Jolla, California, the new JCVI is a world leader in genomic research. ...

The mission of the IPK Gatersleben, a Leibniz Institute, is to conduct basic and applied research in the area of plant genetics and crop plant research. The results of this work are not only of significant benefit to plant breeders and the agricultural industry, but also to the food, feed, and chemical industry. An additional research area, the use of renewable raw materials, is increasingly gaining in importance. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Bavarian Forest Institute (LWF) conducts forest research in a targeted and applicatory way. Its main objective is to design practical and concrete concepts for everyone dealing with forests and forestry. The institute is responsible for the development of skills, fundamentals and methods that contribute to: understand complex issues of the biocoenosis of the forest, anticipate risks, design forest management in a way that combines the economic use, the sustainable conservation of all resources and the protective functions in an optimal manner. ...

The Genetic Science Learning Center is an outreach education program located in the midst of bioscience research at the University of Utah. Our mission is to help people understand how genetics affects their lives and society. To achieve this mission, we present education offerings for various audiences, including: 1. This website, which delivers interactive and print-based resources, free of charge, to Internet users worldwide. The website has two main components: a.) Information and activities: These address standards for science education, and are accessible to all users from the homepage b.) Teacher Resources and Lesson Plans: These are accessible from the top right of any page. They include PDF-based Print-and-Go classroom activities and teacher guides for all materials. 2. Professional development programs that update K-12 teachers' expertise in bioscience topics. See our list of upcoming courses and workshops, accessible through the Resources and Lesson Plans section of this site. 3. Public education programs that highlight topics of current interest and research underway at the University of Utah. Our educational resources provide accurate and unbiased information about topics in genetics and bioscience. Designed for non-research audiences, our materials are interactive and jargon-free, target multiple learning styles, and often convey concepts through visual elements. Our newest materials are being developed with our Exploragraphic design methodology. Some topics in genetics and bioscience research are controversial. The Learning Center does not take sides in politically or ethically charged topics. Rather, our goal is to provide comprehensive information that promotes a lively discussion of these topics, so that individuals can arrive at their own informed decisions. ...
