Abstract

The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena), provided by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), has for almost forty years continued in its mission to freely archive and present the world's public sequencing data for the benefit of the entire scientific community and for the acceleration of the global research effort. Here we highlight the major developments to ENA services and content in 2020, focussing in particular on the recently released updated ENA browser, modernisation of our release process and our data coordination collaborations with specific research communities.

Highlights

For over a third of a century, the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) has served as a cornerstone of the world’s bioinformatics infrastructure
ENA content spans a spectrum of data types from raw reads to asserted annotation and offers a diverse portfolio of services to the scientific community
SUMMARY OF ENA CONTENT, SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT. This year we have continued to provide through ENA a rich set of open services and responsive support for the submission, archiving, enrichment and presentation of the world’s sequencing data across an ever increasing range of data types, scientific applications and user communities

Summary

Introduction

For over a third of a century, the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) has served as a cornerstone of the world’s bioinformatics infrastructure. Submissions services cater for our broad range of data providers, from the smallscale submitting research laboratory to the major sequencing centre. Throughout 2018, we have continued to provide ENA services for the submission, archiving, discovery and retrieval of globally comprehensive data across sequencing platforms and scientific applications.
