The brand new SILVA Tree Viewer is a web application to browse and query the SILVA guide trees. A technical preview is now available for testing and feedback.

The highlight of the last three months was without doubt the ratification of the ELIXIR Consortium Agreement by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). With this step the de.NBI network is asked to prepare a node application comprising the structure of the German ELIXIR node as well as the service and training activities offered on a European level. Thus de.NBI has reached one of its most important goals namely the internationalization of its tasks.

Meet the SILVA, UniEuk and OSD Teams this week at ISME 2016 in Montreal. Listen to the lastest news and developments directly from the experts.

The ELIXIR Node in Germany will be run by de.NBI, the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure, which has been established to coordinate bioinformatics service provision across Germany.
