The BioImage Archive - Building a Home for Life-Sciences Microscopy Data
Abstract
Despite the huge impact of data resources in genomics and structural biology, until now there has been no central archive for biological data for all imaging modalities. The BioImage Archive is a new data resource at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) designed to fill this gap. In its initial development BioImage Archive accepts bioimaging data associated with publications, in any format, from any imaging modality from the molecular to the organism scale, excluding medical imaging. The BioImage Archive will ensure reproducibility of published studies that derive results from image data and reduce duplication of effort. Most importantly, the BioImage Archive will help scientists to generate new insights through reuse of existing data to answer new biological questions, and provision of training, testing and benchmarking data for development of tools for image analysis. The archive is available at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/bioimage-archive/.
