  • I3s are instruments to open up existing national infrastructures to other users
  • The following I3s listed either look partially relevant to ELIXIR or specifically reference the need for ELIXIR involvement (see the text “New tools and resources for analysing and interpreting genomic epigenomic and phenomic data”)
Consortia with ELIXIR - NIB interests:
-development of data integration tools for plant sciences,
-specialists in development of gene function ontologies (GOMapMAN database, a plant oriented equivalent of GO database), plant systems biology oriented database (in preparation) – basis for integrative analysis of different ‘omics’ datasets, in collaboration with SEEK initiative and according to COMBINE recommendations,
-collaboration with Josef Stefan Institute, Slovenia: : development of knowledge base, PlantBioMine-Bio3Graph
