Dear colleagues,
As a community of structural molecular (and, increasingly, cellular) biologists
we are fortunate to have a large collection of well-established, well-managed
and open data resources at our disposal. (Physicists are often impressed when
they learn that a protein structure deposited in the PDB in the mid-1970s can
still be loaded into any molecular viewer and analysed and used as if it was
determined yesterday.) You may have used (or deposited) structural data from
archives such as the PDB, EMDB, EMPIAR, BMRB or SASBDB, but perhaps also
sequence data from UniProt, chemical activity data from ChEMBL or maybe
discovered relevant literature in PubMed or Europe PMC.
EMBL-EBI is involved in operating many of these public data resources (in many
cases, together with international partners and as part of global
collaborations). The institute is currently running a survey that aims to
assess the worldwide value of the bioinformatics resources it offers.
I would like to invite all of you, as well as any other data users in your
organisation, to participate in this survey. Your input is extremely important
and will help EMBL-EBI maintain and develop its resources for the global
scientific community. It would obviously be helpful to have a good
representation of the structural biology community providing input into this
process.
The survey can be accessed here:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/EMBL-EBI_Impact_PE
It takes around 15 minutes and closes on 31 March 2021. The results of the
survey will be anonymised and all personal data treated as confidential.
I recognise there are many demands on your time so I would like to thank you in
advance for your participation and input.
If you have any questions or comments about the survey please contact
[email protected].
Many thanks and best wishes,
--Gerard
