The Bioinformatics Links Directory features curated links to molecular resources, tools and databases. All of the resources are free or available for a nominal fee. The links listed in this directory are selected on the basis of recommendations from bioinformatics experts in the field. We make every effort to list useful, well tested resources instead listing all tools. We also rely on input from our community of bioinformatics users for suggestions. Starting in 2003, we have also started listing all links contained in the NAR Webserver issue. These NAR links are indicated with a NAR Webserver icon in the directory. The UBC Bioinformatics Centre does not specifically endorse or support any of the links in the directory, nor are we responsible for the content of any of these external sites.
