PomBase is a model organism database that provides organization of and access to scientific data for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. PomBase supports genomic sequence and features, genome-wide datasets and manual literature curation as well as providing structural and functional annotation and access to large-scale data sets.

The UK Stem Cell Bank (UKSCB) facilitates the use and sharing of quality-controlled stem cell lines to support scientific research and clinical development of stem cell therapies. The work of the UK Stem Cell Bank covers three main areas: banking for all UK-derived human embryonic stem cell lines, research in the standardisation, quality and safety of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-based products, and regulation regarding international best practice, policies and guidelines relating to stem cell use and regulation around the world.

LIPID Metabolites And Pathways Strategy (LIPID MAPS®) is a multi-institutional supported website and database that provides access to a large number of globally used lipidomics resources. LIPID MAPS® has internationally led the field of lipid curation, classification, and nomenclature since 2003. We strive to produce new open-access databases, informatics tools and lipidomics-focused training activities will be generated and made publicly available for researchers studying lipids in health and disease. LIPID MAPS® is currently funded by a multi-institutional grant from Wellcome, held jointly by Cardiff University, University of California San Diego, the Babraham Institute Cambridge, and Swansea University, as well as an Innovation Study funded by ELIXIR. This current phase will see that LIPID MAPS® is maintained and importantly, further developed in line with the global demand and development of lipidomics. LIPID MAPS® has an internationally recognized classification system and the largest curated lipid structure database in the world.

Through the generous support of The Polonsky Foundation, this project made 1.5 million digitized pages freely available. Portions of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (Vatican Library) and the Bodleian Libraries’ collections of Hebrew manuscripts, Greek manuscripts, and incunabula were selected for digitization by a team of scholars and curators from around the world. The selection process was informed by a balance of scholarly and practical concerns; conservation staff at the Bodleian and Vatican Libraries worked with curators to assess not only the significance of the content, but the physical condition of the items, prioritizing items that are robust enough to withstand being transported to the imaging studio and handled by the photographers. In order to preserve the integrity and completeness of the manuscript collections, the libraries also agreed to digitize whole collections where appropriate. While the Vatican and the Bodleian had been creating digital images from our collections for a number of years, this project provided an opportunity for both libraries to increase the scale of their digitization services. In both cases, this meant significant investments in the equipment, infrastructure and people that make digitization possible. Over the course of this project, both libraries also revealed information about their digitization techniques and methods.

DPVweb provides a central source of information about viruses, viroids and satellites of plants, fungi and protozoa. Comprehensive taxonomic information, including brief descriptions of each family and genus, and classified lists of virus sequences are provided. The database also holds detailed, curated, information for all sequences of viruses, viroids and satellites of plants, fungi and protozoa that are complete or that contain at least one complete gene. The database will not be updated with sequence or taxonomic data from Aug 2013.
