The NCTU BioInfo Archive of biological data sets for bioinformatics research and experimentation.
Most of the current bioinformatics literature lacks an explicit and clear description of the data used in experiments when introducing or evaluating computational tools. Without the exact data set that was fed into computational tools in experiments, any mistaken preparation of the data for later experiments may lead to discrepancy in conclusion. The NCTU BioInfo Archive is a new web-based bioinformatic data archive. It serves as a test bed for evaluating computational tools, as a bridge to link other research communities with bioinformatics, and also as an environment full of motivations and possibilities to encourage more exploratory research in bioinformatics.
