    URL: YABI project (help needed)
    Submitted by Yves Sucaet; posted on Friday, November 24, 2006 (1 comment)

    Yet Another Bioinformatics Index (YABI) wants to become a comprehensive index for all bioinformatics-related websites on the web. While several websites provide "bioinformatics-related" links, this has never before been attempted on a web-wide scale. The idea is to provide a hierarchical information resource (in the way Yahoo functioned during the 90s). In order to make this work, we need help from as many people as possible. How can you help? Go to http://lab.bcb.iastate.edu/yabi (Iowa State Bioinformatics & Computational Biology) and submit your favourite bioinformatics links.

    YABI follow-up
    Submitted by Yves Sucaet; posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2007
    Back in November 2006, we posted a call-for-help regarding a new bioinformatics search engine we wish to establish. Thank you for all who responded. With 200 curated URLs, we now feel we have a critical mass to release this project to the public. The search engine is available through http://lab.bcb.iastate.edu/yabi and provides some features that not all "link" pages have, e.g. many links show quick previews of the respective website as you hover over them (sorry, IE-users only currently). we scan our database weekly for obsolete references to minimize the chance for dead links. A news section for major topics was added as well, linking into Google News RSS feeds. Of course, you can still add your own software/webpages as well.
