ELIXIR

Building a sustainable European infrastructure for biological information, supporting life science research and its translation to medicine, agriculture, bioindustries and society.
ELIXIR unites Europe’s leading life science organisations in managing and safeguarding the massive amounts of data being generated every day by publicly funded research. It is a pan-European research infrastructure for biological information.
ELIXIR provides the facilities necessary for life science researchers - from bench biologists to cheminformaticians - to make the most of our rapidly growing store of information about living systems, which is the foundation on which our understanding of life is built.

The Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase —BacDive— is the worldwide most extensive database for standardised bacterial phenotypic information. It mobilises and integrates research data on strain level from diverse sources and makes it freely accessible.

Today, BacDive offers data on 81,827 bacterial and archaeal strains, including 14,091 type strains, covering approximately 90% of the validly described species.

This webinar will give an introduction to the more than 150 BacDive data fields and will illustrate how to use the different tools to find interesting datasets for your research.
