ELIXRIxNextGenIT

The aim of the project “ELIXIR x NextGenerationIT: consolidation of the Italian Infrastructure for Omics Data and Bioinformatics” (ELIXIRxNextGenIT) is to consolidate the capacity of the Italian node of the European Research Infrastructure ELIXIR to develop, provide and support reliable services for the Life Science research community and beyond. ELIXIRxNextGenIT will endow the country with a state-of-the-art Bioinformatics and integrative Omics infrastructure, providing access to the most advanced platforms for high-throughput generation, management and analysis of genomic, proteomic and metabolomic data. In particular, the aim of “WP2 – Consolidating ELIXIR-IT Platforms for better and more resilient services” is to consolidate existing ELIXIR-ITA Platforms to deliver optimized, standardized and FAIR services to harmonize the production of massive data with life science researchers and communities, leading to the creation of an Italian BioDataCenter, a federated computational infrastructure for omics data storing, sharing and analyses.
