Abstract
The Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB) is the global public archive of three-dimensional electron microscopy (3DEM) maps of biological specimens derived from transmission electron microscopy experiments. As of 2021, EMDB is managed by the Worldwide Protein Data Bank consortium (wwPDB; wwpdb.org) as a wwPDB Core Archive, and the EMDB team is a core member of the consortium. Today, EMDB houses over 30 000 entries with maps containing macromolecules, complexes, viruses, organelles and cells. Herein, we provide an overview of the rapidly growing EMDB archive, including its current holdings, recent updates, and future plans.Keywords
