The Bioinformatics Links Directory: a compilation of molecular biology web servers.

The Bioinformatics Links Directory is an online community resource that contains a directory of freely available tools, databases, and resources for bioinformatics and molecular biology research. The listing of the servers published in this and previous issues of Nucleic Acids Research together with other useful tools and websites represents a rich repository of resources that are openly provided to the research community using internet technologies. The 166 servers highlighted in the 2005 90002 are included in the more than 700 links to useful online resources that are currently contained within the descriptive biological categories of the Bioinformatics Links Directory. This curated listing of bioinformatics resources is available online at the Bioinformatics Links Directory web site, http://bioinformatics.ubc.ca/resources/links_directory/. A complete listing of the 2005 Nucleic Acids Research 90002 servers is available online at the Nucleic Acids web site, http://nar.oupjournals.org/, and on the Bioinformatics Links Directory web site, http://bioinformatics.ubc.ca/resources/links_directory/narweb2005/.
