Detalle de: The Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB/ELIXIR-ES)

The Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB) , founded in 2003 as a distributed network, is the ELIXIR Node in Spain and has two objectives: 1) deepen its involvement and leadership within ELIXIR and broaden the resources provided as part of ELIXIR infrastructure to the Life Sciences community; and 2) increase its impact within the Spanish National Health System . From the ELIXIR perspective , the Service Delivery Plan maintains 40 resources offered by 27 research groups distributed across 15 institutions in Spain. Regarding national activities , the INB/ELIXIR-ES leads TransBioNet and coordinates IMPaCT-Data, the Data Science pillar of the Spanish National Infrastructure for Precision Medicine. These efforts align with major European data projects such as GDI, EUCAIM, FEGA, while implementing GA4GH standards in its technological developments. The node strongly engages within the 4 Tiers of the ELIXIR 2024-28 Work Programme: TechnologyTier: co-leadership of Tools and Training Platforms and ELIXIR Beacon Network Infrastructure Service ScienceTier: co-leadership of CMR and HDTR Science priority areas; co-leadership of Rare Diseases, FHD, Cancer Data and Biodiversity Communities, and Pathogens Data Focus Group. People-Nodes’Tiers active role, together with 5 Platforms, 13 Communities, and 8 Focus Groups. Regarding the INB/ELIXIR-ES portfolio , EGA, an ELIXIR Core Data Resource (CDR), is co-developed and maintained by CRG and EMBL-EBI with BSC’s infrastructure support, with the current focus on its extension through Federated EGA. Additionally, four resources are recognised as ELIXIR Recommended Interoperability Resources (RIR): 3DBIONOTES API, FAIRtracks, FAIRCookbook and OpenEBench. Various ELIXIR Communities have adopted OpenEBench as their community-driven benchmarking platform. The node also co-leads the leadership programme ELEAD2.0, a People Tier CoS built on the experiences of Bioinfo4Women. https://inb-elixir.es https://inb-elixir.es/resources
