How can I find a suitable repository for my data?
Objectives
Explore the Repository Wizard at EBI
Prerequisites
None
EBI Repository Wizard
EBI Links to an external site. hosts several life science repositories, suitable for different types of data. The Repository Wizard helps to identify which one is suitable for your data.
-
Go to the Wizard at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/submission/ Links to an external site.
Picture
-
Either explore the wizard with the purpose of finding a suitable repository for one of your projects, or choose among the scenarios provided below. Which repository is recommended?
- Genomics project with RNA sequences
- X-ray chrystollography structure of a protein
- Gene expression data
- Protein sequencing data
- Proteomics project using mass spectrometry
- Electron microscopy structure images
Solution
- Genomics project with RNA sequences: European Nucleotide Archive Links to an external site. (DNA/RNA sequence -> no controlled access -> produced experimentally -> Other)
- X-ray chrystollography structure of a protein: wwPDB OneDep Links to an external site. (Structures -> X-ray chrystollography)
- Microarray gene expression data: ArrayExpress Links to an external site. (Expression data -> no controlled access -> Microarray gene expression)
- Protein sequencing data: UniProt SPIN Links to an external site. (Protein data -> no controlled access -> produced experimentally -> Protein sequencing)
- Proteomics project using mass spectrometry: PRIDE Links to an external site. (Protein data -> no controlled access -> produced experimentally -> Mass spectrometry -> Proteomics)
- Electron microscopy structure images: EMPIAR Links to an external site. (Structures-> Electron microscopy -> micrographs or particle stacks)
