The second interview in our series with representatives of Blue-Cloud data infrastructures is with Guy Cochrane from EMBL-EBI. Let's discover how the European Nucleotide Archive is contributing to Blue-Cloud's activities.

The demonstrator “Plankton Genomics” is led by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and created by the Faculty of Sciences at Sorbonne University, with contributions from Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ).
The aim of the plankton genomic demonstrator is to showcase a deep assessment of plankton distributions by mining data across biomolecular, imaging and environmental domains. It will draw on the outputs of initiatives such as Tara Oceans and will focus on two key objectives:
The initial users of the plankton genomics demonstrator are, primarily, scientific researchers, including taxonomists, computational ecologists and bioinformaticians with extensive knowledge of the data collected during the Tara Oceans Expedition. In the short term, we expect an important uptake of the demonstrator by European initiatives such as the H2020 Blue Growth project AtlantECO, the Ocean Sampling Day initiative, and the Marine Genomic Observatories in close collaboration with EMBRC and ASSEMBLE Plus.
The end-users include a broad base of scientists in quest of the identification of unknown sequences in the oceanic environment, and also interested, for example in plankton biogeography, marine biogeochemistry, ecosystem health, and climate science.
The plankton genomics demonstrator will consist of two Jupyter Notebook with R packages that allow users to
The second interview in our series with representatives of Blue-Cloud data infrastructures is with Guy Cochrane from EMBL-EBI. Let's discover how the European Nucleotide Archive is contributing to Blue-Cloud's activities.
The first interview with a representative of data infrastructures involved in Blue-Cloud saw Jean-Olivier Irisson from Sorbonne Université offer an overview of the fascinating world of EcoTaxa, a web application dedicated to the visual exploration and the taxonomic annotation of images showcasing planktonic biodiversity.
Get to know the Blue-Cloud demonstrator “Plankton Genomics” led by EMBL-EBI, in collaboration with VLIZ and the Faculty of Sciences at Sorbonne University. How will it change the landscape for this area of marine research?
