NBI-SysBio

Project duration: March 2015 – February 2018

The German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (denbi) is a national infrastructure project that provides high-quality services, training events, courses, and tool support for bioinformatics research.

NBI-SysBio is one of the denbi nodes of expertise, providing standards-based management solutions for data and models in systems biology.
