Data sharing platform (AtlantECO Data Hub)

The ENA Data Hubs Portal provides an interface for the data hubs at ENA, which are workspaces and sets of tools that enable users to share, analyse, visualize, search, and retrieve their sequence data. The data hubs are built on top of ENA infrastructure, utilising the same storage, data, and metadata models. A key feature is the ability for a group of users to collaborate on data, sharing it amongst themselves initially whilst preparing their scholarly publication and coincident public data release (in line with ENA’s data release policy). This differs from ENA’s more-personalized Webin accounts for users. Overall, this supports collaborative researchers and groups to better structure, manage, and prepare their data prior to publication. The portal now supports applications beyond infectious disease, and automated data hub setup and management.
