NeLS

The Norwegian e-Infrastructure for Life Sciences (NeLS) is a national portal for the analysis, sharing, and midterm storage of non-sensitive molecular life science data. Coordinated and developed by the ELIXIR Norway Bergen node, NeLS is intended for researchers who need to store and share high-throughput genomics and other life science datasets with collaborators both within and outside Norway, in support of open science principles.

NeLS is designed to facilitate FAIR data practices and provides a structured environment for managing research data across projects. Access is available through institutional credentials via the NeLS portal.

Key Features

• Midterm data storage — secure storage for non-sensitive high-throughput genomics and other life science data
• Data sharing — share datasets with national and international collaborators
• Analysis tools — integrated tools and Galaxy integration for genomic data analysis
• Open science support — designed to facilitate FAIR data practices and open data sharing
• Project management — organise data by projects and connect with collaborators through the portal

Getting Started

1. Visit the NeLS portal and log in with institutional credentials
2. Create a project and upload datasets
3. Share data with collaborators by granting project access
4. Use integrated analysis tools or connect to Galaxy for workflow-based analysis

NeLS is operated by ELIXIR Norway and focuses on non-sensitive life science data. It integrates with Galaxy to support genomic analysis workflows and is accessible to researchers through the NeLS portal.
