BioWareDB: the biomedical software and database search engine.
A wealth of bioinformatics tools and databases has been created over the last decade and most are freely available to the general public. However, these valuable resources live a shadow existence compared to experimental results and methods that are widely published in journals and relatively easily found through publication databases such as PubMed. For the general scientist as well as bioinformaticists, these tools can deliver great value to the design and analysis of biological and medical experiments, but there is no inventory presenting an up-to-date and easily searchable index of all these resources. To remedy this, the BioWareDB search engine has been created. BioWareDB is an extensive and current catalog of software and databases of relevance to researchers in the fields of biology and medicine, and presently consists of 2800 validated entries.
