The aim of the programme is to help industry to adapt quickly to, and maximise the benefit from, innovations in the fast-growing field of bioinformatics. The BioStandards project comprises training and education, and the development and adaptation of databases, software and information structures which are of particular importance to industry.
Special emphasis is given to the promotion of existing standards, and the development of new ones.
Other topics will be identified in the EBI's ongoing dialogue with its industry partners. The project will continue after this in the form of the Industry Associates' project. Direct questions or comments to Webmaster .
