This presentation by Bela Tiwari from the NERC Environmental Bioinformatics Centre highlights the vast amounts of molecular data available for environmental research, including entries in GenBank, EMBL, UniProt, and PubMed. It discusses the importance of structured data submission forms and the Env Initiative, aimed at developing community-based ontologies for describing environmental contexts of biological samples. The session emphasizes the significance of standardized data exchange formats and the impact of environmental research on critical areas like biodiversity, climate change, energy, health, and nutrition.
