Hi,

The way I see it, there are simply too many databases, apps, toolkits and the like out there to get an overview on what we have. As a biologist usually I just get confused when I am looking for some program I would need, as there are new ones every week, and 1-2 year old projects are just abandoned and become totally useless because the lack of support.

I'm pasting here a few collections to show chaotic this is. Keep in mind that none of these lists are complete.

Here's a collection of databases:
http://www.oxfordjournals.org/nar/database/c/

toolkits:
http://biojava.org/wiki/Main_Page
http://biopython.org/wiki/Biopython
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Main_Page

or phylogenetic software:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_phylogenetics_software
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_phylogenetic_tree_visualization_software
http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/software.html
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/subway/phylo/phylosoft.html

So my point is, I would need a few specific software, but in such chaos I cannot tell if they already exist or not.

The suggestions so far in this thread again just produce more code, but do not help to answer any questions IMHO. I would encourage you to get involved in a specific project, and develop a program together with the end users, rather than making yet another "cool looking web tool...but it lacks a lot of features".

Cheers,
Mat
