Target audience: biocurators
This video explains how the Zooma annotation tool, the OxO mapping service and the Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) can be used to harmonise and enrich biological and biomedical data.
The EMBL-EBI Ontology Tools can be used by both biological curators and software developers. Biological curators...

The Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) provides access to over 150 public biomedical ontologies. You can use OLS to search and visualise ontologies, and an API is also provided for programmatic access. Ontologies provide standard terminology for describing data that help us integrate and analyse data....

This is a lecture on linear motifs and phophorylation sites (P-sites). Some materials from other lectures are reused.
The lecture is basically about computational approaches to encode, predict, analyse, and use functional motifs and P-sites.
Here you can find:
A definition of linear motifs and...

This presentation introduces the background to the InterPro database: what it is, where it came from, and what was the vision behind its creation. It examines in particular whether the database has evolved in line with its original vision, and asks whether the resource is still fit for purpose.
