Description:
The
website provides well organized links to different tasks in bioinformatics
research.
Strengths:
The
strengths of this website are its organization. It groups the information
logically and you can find the information according to the task you are
facing. If you want to do alignment, go to Alignment tools;
if you need background information, go to Bioinformatics institutes;
if you need related books, go to Biobooks
¡
Weaknesses:
I
am not sure how integration this website is. I can not find some general
websites such as SAGE, GeneCards.Also there
are advertisements not related to bioinformatics. The presentation of the
website is not professional, and somehow it gives me the feeling that this
website is the ¡°homework¡± of a graduate student.
Comprehensiveness:
This
is a good starting spot, but I have to say it is not very comprehensive
Timeliness:
It
looks to me that the webmaster didn¡¯t spend a lot of time on it recently
Ease of Use:
Very
easy to use
Responsiveness:
