How does open licensing shape scientific research in the age of AI? Do restrictive licences protect your work, or limit collaboration?
Join @europepmc.org & @knowledgerights21.org to explore these questions in the webinar.

Hi Radoslav! You can bulk download the complete homodimer dataset via FTP from this link:
ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/database...
README and mapping files with interface and clash scores to help you assess which models you want are also available on the same link.
Happy exploring!
Hi Fernán,
The full 19 million homodimers dataset is now available for download here:
ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/database...
Please note that the README and mapping files with interface and clash scores to help you assess which models you want are also available on the same link.
Happy exploring!
Update: 19 million AI-predicted homodimers are now available for bulk download on the link below.

None of this would be possible without the global community who generate and share the life science data we make openly available at EMBL-EBI.
Alongside our funders, collaborators, staff and students, your contributions drive what we do helping turn data into real-world impact.
The EMBL-EBI 2025 Highlights Report is here!
Inside you’ll find:
🦠 A new data platform tackling antimicrobial resistance
🤖 AI models forecasting disease risk
🎓 Building global AlphaFold skills
Explore the full report to see more of the people and stories behind our work.

Good metadata is key to maximising the reuse of data distributed by EGA and Federated EGA 🚀
The #FederatedEGA Metadata Working Group is working on a new metadata model 📄 Read the latest report here: zenodo.org/records/1880...
Closed licences, closed doors.
We're hosting a webinar with @kr21.bsky.social exploring how licensing shapes real-world research impact, from @opentargets.org to pandemic response.

Please note that only the high confidence dimers are available through the website. Our colleagues are working hard to make the lower confidence predictions available for bulk download.
We'll add the link here when it becomes available.
You should be able to find homodimers for those organisms in the AlphaFold Database.
See for example a search of Leishmania dimers below. You can filter search results by entry type to see monomers, multimers or both.
alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/search/text/...
Thank you for your suggestion, we’ve passed it on to our team working on this.
Meanwhile, there are several neglected diseases represented, including Leishmania, Trypanosoma, Plasmodium (Protists) and Schistosoma, Wuchereria (worms).
You can see the full list is below: alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/download
Find out more on the INSDC website and explore the updated specifications:
www.insdc.org/insdc-minima...
The INSDC brings together @enasequence.bsky.social at EMBL-EBI, the National Institute for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), and the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ).
Together, they work as a global partnership to collect, store, and openly share nucleotide sequence data.
Life science research depends on global access to sequencing data but this only works when everyone speaks the same technical language.
Find out how the INSDC has updated its specifications to simplify data submission for better synchronisation across its partners.
www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/a...
We're still calculating and analysing them but we'll post on here when they become available so please stay tuned.
The new dataset is openly available to the global scientific community. No sign-ups, no paywall.
We hope you will explore, test, and build on these data, and we’d love to hear your feedback.
Have a look in the AlphaFold Database:
alphafold.ebi.ac.uk
This milestone is the result of a new collaboration with NVIDIA, Google DeepMind and Seoul National University.
And this is only the first step. More complexes, including heterodimers, are on the way, so watch this space! 👀
Take a deeper dive into how we did it

You asked, we listened. Millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures are now available in the #AlphaFold Database.
This spans homodimers from 20 of the most studied species, including humans, as well as the World Health Organization’s priority pathogens list.
