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.

This site provides access to the research outputs of the The Rockefeller University. Users may set up RSS feeds to be alerted to new content. The interface is available in English.

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.

LW ERIC is the e-Science European Research Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research. It provides access to a multitude of datasets, e-Services and tools enabling the construction and operation of Virtual Research Environments (VREs) through innovative technologies, which permit the accelerated capture of data, their analysis and knowledge-based decision-making support for biodiversity and ecosystem management. It can be split into 2 groups of services: BER_e-Infra & BER_VREs. BER_VREs consists of 3 cutting-edge technologies: LifeBlock, a Blockchain technology for transparency and immutability, guaranteeing FAIR-compliant data. Tesseract, the technical composability layer to integrate web services, enabling the development of VREs for users to combine and arrange services and software into multiple workflows. The Artificial Intelligence virtual laboratory (vLab), an online service allowing users to locate others working on similar subjects and the hubs that link them. Within BiCiKL, LW ERIC will support virtual access to BER_VREs.

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.
