Cambridge University Press is a not-for-profit organization that advances learning, knowledge and research worldwide. It is an integral part of the University of Cambridge and for centuries has extended its research and teaching activities through a remarkable range of academic and educational books and journals.
ELIXIR is an inter-governmental organisation, which builds on existing data resources and services within Europe. It follows a hub-and-nodes model, with a single Hub located alongside EMBL-EBI in Hinxton, Cambridge, UK and a growing number of Nodes located at centres of excellence throughout Europe.
ECCB 2016 is the key European computational biology event in 2016 gathering scientists working at the intersection of a broad range of disciplines including computer science, mathematics, biology, and medicine. Participation at ECCB 2016 will be the prime opportunity to keep pace with cutting-edge research in such exciting topics, and to network with other members of our community. ECCB 2016 is the 15th edition of the ECCB conference series, which in 2016 will take place in the historic city of The Hague in the Netherlands.
The Jalview project develops free software for the the interactive generation, analysis, editing and visualisation of biological sequence alignments. Jalview integrates with Chimera molecular graphics software, the PDBe services and JPred4 structure predictor. The project provides training at all levels as well as collaborative development opportunities.
The European Bioinformatics Institute is part of EMBL, Europe’s flagship laboratory for the life sciences. EMBL-EBI provides freely available data from life science experiments covering the full spectrum of molecular biology. While we are best known for our provision of bioinformatics services, about 20% of our institute is devoted to basic research. Our extensive training programme helps researchers in academia and industry to make the most of the incredible amount of data being produced every day in life science experiments. We are a non-profit, intergovernmental organisation funded by EMBL member states. Our 500 staff represent 43 nationalities, and we welcome a regular stream of visiting scientists throughout the year. We are located on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) (www.iscb.org) was the first and continues to be the only society representing computational biology and bioinformatics worldwide. ISCB serves a global community of nearly 3,400 scientists dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of living systems through computation by:
- convening the world’s experts and future leaders in top conferences
- partnering with publications that promote discovery and expand access to computational biology and bioinformatics
- delivering valuable information about training, education, employment, and relevant news
- providing an influential voice on government and scientific policies that are important to our members
F1000Research is an open science publishing platform for life scientists that offers immediate open access publication, transparent post-publication peer review by invited referees, and full data deposition and sharing. F1000Research accepts all scientifically sound articles, including single findings, case reports, protocols, replications, null/negative results, and more traditional articles.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides life sciences and genomics organizations with secure, reliable, low-cost, easy-to-scale, global IT infrastructure “in the cloud.” Hundreds of thousands of customers in 190 countries, rely on AWS for their bioinformatics needs, whether it is working with large public data sets or conducting clinical research that combines medical records with genomic information at population scale.
