The EGA holds approximately half a petabyte of data, and this volume is growing rapidly. These data are a goldmine for biomedical researchers, and it is imperative that the archive continues to run smoothly and can grow to meet demand. This Pilot Action demonstrated how ELIXIR Nodes can support one another in expanding Europe’s bioinformatics capacity.
The Centre for Genomic Research (CRG) in Barcelona partnered with EMBL-EBI to further develop the EGA, and in a short time has eased considerable pressure on the project and opened up new avenues for development.
