This site aims to compile a comprehensive registry of software and databases in the life sciences, allowing researchers to find the resources they need for specific tasks. It includes bioinformatic tools (command-line based as well as tools with GUI), online services, databases, and analysis workflows. The resources are described with defined semantics, sorted by topic/application, and assigned a unique identifier.
