Many Hundreds of Software Tools
BioDatomics is a unique system built on the BioUML platform and is specifically to both integrate many existing software technologies and methods, but also built in an open-source structure that is designed to make use of plug-ins. The concerted efforts of many researchers have resulted in a huge array of software tools available in the bio-research field; unfortunately the majority of these tools although open-source, are Command Line Interface (CLI) scripts and are not easy to use, and even harder to use in collaboration with other scripts.
Our programmers at BioDatomics have made it possible to very rapidly port these CLI scripts to the BioUML platform so that users can enjoy our dashboard not only to manage these scripts, but to allow the data to be used in different models and visual representations, in the same way as the tools integral to BioUML allow. This means that anyone who can produce a script for their specific model can have it quickly ported into BioUMLin order to be able to run the scripts and also apply the functionality of BioDatomics to the script results. There are over 100 tools pre-built into BioDatomics and about 300+ third party add-on tools that have already been ported into the platform. This number is ever on the increase and as we progress we expect to be the the most comprehensive integrated bioinformatics platform available anywhere in the world.
