About Us
Our Mission
Our aim is to make Brassica crop data openly accessible and available in a standardised and well-described manner. We collaborate with Elixir, Bioschemas.org and Biosamples to make the hosted data findable and interoperable with analysis tools and re-usable among the scientific community.
