Welcome, Mar Gonzalez-Porta 🇪🇸, our new Team Leader for the @enasequence.bsky.social & BioSamples. Her biggest challenge? Managing a rapidly growing data volume, equivalent to 4,000+ years of streaming, while keeping both resources trusted and community-engaged. www.embl.org/news/perspec...

A new report puts a number on what open data is worth. £11.8bn/year The ENA's piece of that picture: petabytes of nucleotide sequence data, permanently archived and freely accessible the sequence layer beneath it all. Open data works because it's infrastructure. Proud to be part of it.

Life science research depends on global access to sequencing data but this only works when everyone speaks the same technical language. Find out how the INSDC has updated its specifications to simplify data submission for better synchronisation across its partners. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/a...

We’re seeing delays in ENA assembly processing & INSDC data exchange outwards due to a surge in recent submissions. Processing should return to normal soon, but we can’t give a timeline for assembly exchange with INSDC partners. Thanks for your patience updates will follow once normality is restored
