Key facts about research
• The EBI provides a unique environment for bioinformatics research
• Eight dedicated research groups aim to understand biology through new approaches to interpreting biological data
• Services teams also carry out R&D to enhance existing services and develop new ones
• Research programme complements services and the two are mutually supportive
