The use of bioinformatics is ubiquitous within the life sciences. In bio.tools, we are striving to provide a comprehensive registry of software and databases, facilitating researchers from across the spectrum of biological and biomedical science to find, understand, utilise and cite the resources they need in their day-to-day work. Everything from simple command-line tools and online services, through to databases and complex, multi-functional analysis workflows is included. Resources are described in a rigorous semantics and syntax, providing end-users with the convenience of concise, consistent and therefore comparable information. Each bio.tools entry is assigned a human-readable, unique identifier based on the resource name, e.g. biotools:signalp. These identifiers provide a persistent reference to our Tool Cards of essential information, as well as a means to trace resources and integrate bio.tools data with other resources. bio.tools was supported by ELIXIR through the ELIXIR-EXCELERATE grant, which was funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 program under grant agreement 676559.

The mission of BioStudies is to provide access to all the data outputs of a life sciences study from a single place, by organising links to data in other databases at EMBL-EBI or elsewhere, as well as hosting data and metadata that do not fit anywhere else. The database accepts submissions via an online tool, or in a simple tab-delimited format. BioStudies provides rich mechanisms for defining and using metadata guidelines specific for a particular data source such as a project or a community, and organises datasets in collections.

HuBMAP is part of a rich ecosystem of established and emerging atlasing programs supported by NIH and globally by other funding organizations, many of which are focused on specific organs or diseases. HuBMAP has connected with these programs to ensure data interoperability, avoid duplication of work, and leverage and synergize gained knowledge. The consortium has organized a number of events to bring together these communities to discuss topics of shared interest and is committed to improving coordination and collaboration among different programs. In addition, many of the HuBMAP PIs had been or are still actively participating in these efforts, helping with cross-pollination and advancing our global understanding. HuBMAP, as its name implies, was specifically initiated to resolve the challenge of building integrated, comprehensive, high-resolution spatial maps of human tissues and organs, which has resulted in HuBMAP providing leadership in the ecosystem around techniques for integrating disparate, multi-dimensional and multi-scale datasets, the development of a Common Coordinate Framework (CCF) for integrating data across many individuals, and the development and validation of these assays. To further increase interoperability, HuBMAP has adopted a number of standards and processes developed by other domain expert consortia, working and is actively involved in the knowledge exchange. The consortium sees itself as an integral part of the ecosystem, sharing its strengths and actively contributing to the community.

Thanks to new single cell genomics and spatial imaging technologies developed since the late 2000s and early 2010s, it is now possible to measure gene expression profiles in individual cells. These large scale data can be used with machine learning algorithms to decipher how the cells differ from and interact with their neighbors, and how they form and function in the tissue. This now allows scientists to identify and understand cell types in unprecedented detail, resolution and breadth. The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) is an international group of researchers using a combination of these new technologies to create cellular reference maps with the position, function and characteristics of every cell type in the human body.

The information gained from the HIPC program will provide a comprehensive understanding of the human immune system and its regulation and will reveal novel associations between components of the immune system and other biological systems, identify novel immune mediators and pathways, establish predictors of vaccine safety in different populations, and enable the rapid evaluation of different vaccine formulations and administration regimens in human populations. This knowledge base will also serve as a foundation for the future study of immune-mediated diseases in the human, such as allergy, asthma, transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, and a variety of inflammatory diseases.
