RESUMO
The exponential growth of bioinformatics tools in recent years has posed challenges for scientists in selecting the most suitable one for their data analysis assignments. Therefore, to aid scientists in making informed choices, a community-based platform that indexes and rates bioinformatics tools is urgently needed. In this study, we introduce BioTreasury ( http://biotreasury.rjmart.cn ), an integrated community-based repository that provides an interactive platform for users and developers to share their experiences in various bioinformatics tools. BioTreasury offers a comprehensive collection of well-indexed bioinformatics software, tools, and databases, totaling over 10,000 entries. In the past two years, we have continuously improved and maintained BioTreasury, adding several exciting features, including creating structured homepages for every tool and user, a hierarchical category of bioinformatics tools and classifying tools using large language model (LLM). BioTreasury streamlines the tool submission process with intelligent auto-completion. Additionally, BioTreasury provides a wide range of social features, for example, enabling users to participate in interactive discussions, rate tools, build and share tool collections for the public. We believe BioTreasury can be a valuable resource and knowledge-sharing platform for the biomedical community. It empowers researchers to effectively discover and evaluate bioinformatics tools, fostering collaboration and advancing bioinformatics research.
