BioTools Search By Operation

Overview

Search the ELIXIR Bio.tools registry for bioinformatics tools by EDAM operation (what the tool does). Returns tools that perform a specific computational operation. Useful operations include: 'Sequence alignment', 'Structure prediction', 'Variant calling', 'Gene expression analysis', 'Phylogenetic inference', 'Protein function prediction', 'Molecular docking', 'Genome annotation', 'Visualisation', 'Data retrieval', 'Statistical calculation', 'Clustering'. Use this to find software for a specific analysis task.
