Description:	Driven both by the new discipline of genomics and increasing use of multi-dimensional imaging technologies, the amount of digital information in the life sciences is growing exponentially. Biologists are faced with the challenge of organizing and integrating this torrent of biological data, held in a plethora of genomic sequence, sequence-related and other types of databases and scattered across many thousands of articles in the published literature. As part of the response to this challenge, EMBO, the European Molecular Biology Organization, took the lead to create the E-BioSci network, a next generation scientific information platform that will interlink genomic and other factual data with the life sciences research literature.
