The year 2015 is officially over. Looking back, here’s a roundup of the TOP 15 of the year ’15, the online tools used most often by the brilliant people on LabWorm.
So without further ado, let’s see what the LabWormers picked as the top sites of 2015.
1. UCSC Genome Browser – Our champion for 2015!
Information-rich and graphic-based browser with annotations of whole genomes (we have a feeling its going to be hard to compete with this one for first place)
2. PubMed
Top biomedical literature search index (we didn’t fall off our chairs with this one)
3. DAVID
The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery
4. cBioPortal
Tool for visualization, analysis and download of large-scale cancer genomics data from the TCGA project
5. Quartzy
The free and easy way to manage your lab
6. Cytoscape
Software environment for integrated models of biomolecular interaction networks
7. GoPubMed
Alternative for literature search with intelligent navigation options
8. Alignment Annotator
Rendering and annotating sequence alignments
9. BioMart
A community based portal to an assortment of big databases and analytical tools
10. Feedly
Your all-purpose news reader
11. bioRxiv
Preprint publications for biology
12. PubPeer
Community discussion and anonymous critique of publications (the modern day arena where scientists fight till the death, viewer discretion advised)
13. Life Science Network
Platform for networking and sharing of knowledge in the life sciences field
14. Network of Cancer Genes
Manually curated repository of cancer genes derived from the scientific literature
and last but not least….
15. Trello
Flexible, and visual way to organize anything with anyone (we’d be lost without Trello and are happy to see it caught on)
We would like to thank all of you for being part of the LabWorm community and making these great choices. We are already anxious to see what you LabWormers will be up to in this coming year. Have a fantastic 2016 and may the Worm be with you all!
