RDR (pronounced 'Radar') is the curated institutional research data repository of KU Leuven. The repository contains published data resulting from KU Leuven research in a FAIR way and allows the published data to be as open as possible, but as closed as necessary. The institutional repository helps KU Leuven researchers publish, share, cite, and preserve their research data in a findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable way, with support from university staff. The repository uses the open source Dataverse project software as its base.

The BCCM/GeneCorner Plasmid Collection warrants the long-term storage and distribution of plasmids, microbial host strains and DNA libraries of fundamental, biotechnological, educational or general scientific importance. The focus is on the collection of recombinant plasmids that can replicate in a microbial host strain. BCCM/GeneCorner also accepts natural and genetically modified animal or human cell lines, including hybridomas, as well as other genetic material, in the safe deposit and patent deposit collections.

BRCA Share is a novel gene datashare initiative that provides scientists and commercial laboratory organizations around the world with open access to BRCA Share (formerly UMD-BRCA1) contains BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic data. The program’s goal is to accelerate research on BRCA gene mutations, particularly variants of uncertain significance, to improve the ability of clinical laboratory diagnostics to predict which individuals are at risk of developing these cancers.

The COVID-19 Data Portal enables researchers to upload, access and analyse COVID-19 related reference data and specialist datasets. The aim of the COVID-19 Data Portal is to facilitate data sharing and analysis, and to accelerate coronavirus research. The portal includes relevant datasets submitted to EMBL-EBI as well as other major centres for biomedical data. The COVID-19 Data Portal is the primary entry point into the functions of a wider project, the European COVID-19 Data Platform.

BCCM/ULC is a small and dedicated public collection, currently containing one of the largest collections of documented (sub)polar cyanobacteria worldwide. The BCCM/ULC collection is hosted by the Centre for Protein Engineering (the Unit) of the University of Liège. The host Unit is very active in research projects concerning the cyanobacterial diversity and biogeography, with a focus on polar biotopes. The approach used is polyphasic, including the isolation of strains and culture-independent methods (DGGE, clone libraries, pyrosequencing based on the ribosomal operon sequences). The participation to field expeditions in the Antarctic and Arctic has enabled to collect samples in many locations. Moreover, taxonomic research is carried out by the host Unit to improve the classification of the cyanobacterial phylum. It is based on a polyphasic approach combining the morphological and molecular characterizations of the strains.

EV-TRACK centralizes extracellular vesicle (EV) biology and methodology to encourage authors, reviewers, editors and funders to put experimental guidelines into practice. It implements a bottom-up community consensus approach and encourages researchers to upload published and unpublished experiments and provide feedback. It is a unique resource that was developed to (i) create an informed dialogue among researchers about relevant experimental parameters, (ii) improve the rigour and interpretation of experiments studying EVs, and (iii) record the evolution of EV research.
