ELIXIR - Distributed infrastructure for life science
20 members
Implemented through National ELIXIR Nodes
Build on:• local bioinformatics • on national strengths and
priorities
Consolidates Europe’s national centres, services, and core bioinformatics resources
Data and services: simplifies access, ensures long-term sustainability
Single, coordinated infrastructure able to scale with the challenge

ELIXIR Structure
Five technical platforms for Compute, Data, Tools and Interoperability
Complemented by four use cases for marine meta-genomics, rare diseases, human data and plants sciences
Examples
ELIXIR AAI (Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure)
ELIXIR Tools and Service Registry
European Genome-phenome

Beacons: public data discovery web-service
Do you have information about the allele “C at
position 32,936,732 on chromosome 13?”
Yes / No(+optional metadata
about the allele)

ELIXIR and Beacons• Funding to aid implementation of the Beacon
technology within ELIXIR nodes
• ELIXIR Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure
Accessible to internet users
Accessible to bona fide researchers
Authorized – signed agreement needed

ELIXIR Interoperability backbone – FAIR principles
A web-based, curated and searchable portal thatmonitors the development and evolution of standards, their use in databases and the adoption of both in data
policies, to inform and educate the user community
