What is Explorer?

is a federated data hub that enables researchers to discover, access, and analyze distributed biomedical datasets through a unified interface.

How it Works

Explorer provides streamlined access to datasets through a standards-compliant interface. You can search across multiple data networks while maintaining compliance with standards. The platform supports both public datasets and controlled access data through secure authentication.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive Search: Search for public and private datasets () by name, description, and tags

  • Unified Interface: Access a global federated network of datasets through a single, standardized interface

  • Interactive Data Exploration: Navigate data through faceted search UI and SQL-based API

  • Secure Authentication: Login with to access controlled data with a single identity

  • Standards Compliance: Full compatibility with open standards

  • Integrated Analysis Tools: Connect with for bioinformatics processing, for interactive visualizations, for machine learning, and for federated learning

  • Customizable Portal: Create a branded portal with a custom URL, hero image, mission statement, and color scheme

  • Cross-Organization Networking: Create internal portals or build networks across organizations while maintaining data control through

Available Explorer Networks from

Explorer powers several specialized research networks, including:

  • Additional specialized networks available

Getting Started with Explorer

To begin exploring datasets:

  1. Browse available public datasets immediately

  2. Request access to controlled datasets as needed

All Explorer networks use Passport authentication, allowing you to access multiple data resources with a single secure identity.

- For viral genomics research

- For neuroscience data exploration

- For cancer research datasets

- For rare disease research
