EMBnet

Members

Since its creation in 1988, EMBnet has evolved from an informal network of individuals in charge of maintaining biological databases into the only organisation worldwide bringing bioinformatics professionals to work together to serve the expanding fields of genetics and molecular biology. Although composed predominantly of academic Institutes (Nodes), EMBnet gains an important added dimension from its individual members. The success of EMBnet has been increasing the number of organisations and individuals outside Europe up to becoming an international network. For this reason in 2010, EMBnet was officially renamed as EMBnet – The Global Bioinformatics Network with members in Asia, Africa, Australia and America.
