About

ToolFinder’s purpose is to present a landscape view of bioinformatics software packages & tools installed across Australian national computational infrastructures, including:

ToolFinder also:

  1. Presents relevant metadata for each of these tools, which is sourced from bio.tools,
  2. Provides connections to other global registries as appropriate, and based on user feedback (e.g. BioContainers), and
  3. Provides, where possible, the ability to directly access (or launch) bioinformatics tools. The only current example of launching tools is for Galaxy Australia.

How was the list generated?

Please see the GitHub repository that compiles the ToolFinder metadata input for more details.
