bio.tools is a community-driven registry of bioinformatics software and data resources. It provides detailed information about software tools, databases, analysis workflows, and services that are used in bioinformatics and the life sciences.
Each bio.tools entry has a unique identifier based on the resource name, e.g., biotools:signalp.
All the bio.tools data and technical components are available under open license and we warmly welcome you to get involved.
Find out more in bio.tools documentation and in the About section.
Explore communities in bio.tools and see what resources are used by different scientific communities.
We strongly encourage everyone to take part in the community effort and contribute. Email us for more info.
In bio.tools we try, with the help of the community, to create content domains or "slices" relevant to a specific community, research area or task (e.g. Proteomics, and Rare diseases).
Explore and search bio.tools domains and manage your own domains. Read more about bio.tools domains here.
