Abstract Biomedical data repositories such as the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) enable search and discovery of relevant biomedical digital objects. Similarly, resources OMICtools, index bioinformatics tools that can extract knowledge from these However, systematic access to pre-generated ‘canned’ analyses applied by objects is currently not available. Datasets2Tools a repository indexing 31,473 canned 6,431 datasets. The also contains 4,901 published software tools, all analyzed enables users rapidly find datasets, through an intuitive web interface, Google Chrome extension, API. Furthermore, provides platform for contributing analyses, well evaluating according their compliance with findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR) principles. By incorporating community engagement, promotes sharing stimulate extraction research data. freely available from: http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/datasets2tools .
