ELIXIR Tools and Data Services Registry for bioinformatics and the life sciences
bio.toolsPermalink
The ELIXIR Tools and Data Services Registry provides essential scientific and technical information about analytical tools and data services for bioinformatics. The portal is freely accessible and available for registering resources, and nurtures the need for finding, accessing and using bio-molecular databases and using interoperable software tools for data analysis and interpretation. It was designed with focus on both discovery and integration of life science resources and a flexible web interface as well as programmatic access.
Use the bio.tools portal to search for, and/or register resources in the Registry.

BioGLUEPermalink
Nowadays, biological data originates from many different experimental techniques and analytical platforms, each contributing in a unique way to the complex landscape of biomedical science. The resulting, new and valuable, data often comes in formats that are incompatible or difficult to integrate with existing software tools or connect to current knowledge. The heterogeneity of data formats and standards results in laborious manual processing, which is both time consuming and prone to errors. This does not only distract bioinformaticians from focusing on the actual data analysis and interpretation, but can be a big hurdle for researchers without bioinformatics skills and stop them from gaining new insights.
The goal of the BioGLUE project is to provide a unified Danish infrastructure for seamless data interoperability. The project will align with the European ELIXIR Infrastructure to enable fully functional data analysis workflows for a wide range of researchers, both nationally and internationally. This will be accomplished with the help of large language models, which can be utilized for automated data conversion and integration, or least to facilitate the harmonization of data from different sources. The project will include diverse use cases representing activities in Danish bioinformatics, ensuring versatility. By building upon the ELIXIR infrastructure and utilizing the extensive tools registry already in place, BioGLUE seeks to enhance the construction of bioinformatics workflows. The ultimate goal is to make this process more efficient, reproducible, and scalable, thereby advancing research in the life sciences.
