A guide to EBI Search

This webinar will introduce the EBI Search service. EBI Search is a text search engine that provides easy and uniform access to the biological data resources hosted at EMBL-EBI. It provides up-to-date search results across all of the stored datasets, as well as simple intra-domain navigation via internal cross-references.

In addition to the web front-end, there is a RESTful API interface, allowing the search engine to be queried programmatically. The webinar will illustrate both the web application, and take a brief look at the RESTful interface.

Who is this course for?

This webinar is aimed at anyone who may be interested in exploring the data resources available across the EMBL-EBI using EBI Search, either through the web front-end or programmatically.
