Databases

Genomic research generates data on a massive scale and methods to manage and interpret large-scale data are essential to translation of research into biological understanding.

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute has developed - often with colleagues outside the institute - a suite of databases to help researchers. These can be accessed from this page.
