Hi all, This is to inform PDB/EMDB depositors (at PDBe only) and users of PDBe services (http://pdbe.org/) that we will be operating with a reduced level of service in the next few weeks: - on 23 and 24 December we are operating with a skeleton crew, especially in the depositon and annotation department. We will do our best to process entries that are deposited during these days but cannot guarantee that we will succeed in all cases. - from 25 December to 3 January (inclusive), the EBI will be closed. You may still deposit structures and data into the PDB and EMDB, but there will be no annotation and processing taking place. We will monitor our web services in this period and will endeavour to fix any serious problems. Please note that e-mail sent to PDBe in this period is unlikely to receive a reply until the beginning of January. - from 4-6 January, we will resume normal service and catch up with the annotation and e-mail backlogs. - from 7-10 January, the entire campus data centre will be shut down for urgent repairs and service. This means that it will not be possible to deposit any PDB or EMDB data at PDBe in this period and that most of the PDBe web site and services will not be operational. (However, ftp services should not be affected by this as they don't reside on campus.) - from 11 January, we hope to be fully operational again (like the Death Star in "Return of the Jedi"). We apologise for any inconvenience these service interruptions/reductions may cause. On behalf of all PDBe staff: best wishes for the coming holiday season! --Gerard Kleywegt --- Gerard J.
