EBI Repository Wizard

EBI hosts several life science repositories, suitable for different types of data. The Repository Wizard helps to identify which one is suitable for your data.

  • Go to the Wizard at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/submission/

  • Either explore the wizard with the purpose of finding a suitable repository for one of your projects, or choose among the scenarios provided below. Which repository is recommended?

    • Genomics project with RNA sequences
    • X-ray chrystollography structure of a protein
    • Gene expression data
    • Protein sequencing data
    • Proteomics project using mass spectrometry
    • Electron microscopy structure images

    Solution

    • Genomics project with RNA sequences: European Nucleotide Archive (DNA/RNA sequence -> no controlled access -> produced experimentally -> Other)
    • X-ray chrystollography structure of a protein: wwPDB OneDep (Structures -> X-ray chrystollography)
    • Microarray gene expression data: ArrayExpress (Expression data -> no controlled access -> Microarray gene expression)
    • Protein sequencing data: UniProt SPIN (Protein data -> no controlled access -> produced experimentally -> Protein sequencing)
    • Proteomics project using mass spectrometry: PRIDE (Protein data -> no controlled access -> produced experimentally -> Mass spectrometry -> Proteomics)
    • Electron microscopy structure images: EMPIAR (Structures-> Electron microscopy -> micrographs or particle stacks)
