The European Bioinformatics Institute
From the webpage:
EMBL-EBI provides freely available data from life science experiments, performs basic research in computational biology and offers an extensive user training programme, supporting researchers in academia and industry.
I have mentioned the European Bioinformatics Institute before in connection with specific projects but never as a stand alone entry. The Institute is part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory.
