Catalogue of Romanian Bioinformatics Services - CaRoBioS

By services, CRB means data resources, software tools, training, computing infrastructure, and help desks.

Following the model of several ELIXIR Nodes, the development of the Catalogue of Romanian Bioinformatics Services (CaRoBioS) aims to support the bioinformatics ecosystem in Romania by:

• promoting the awareness of services developed by Romanian research groups,
• increasing the domestic and European use of services developed by Romanian research groups,
• providing structured feedback according to a set of review criteria aligned with the FAIR principles
• identifying critical aspects of interoperability to improve existing services, and
• offering indirect support for access to funding to promote the long-term sustainability of essential services.

Inclusion in CaRoBioS follows the multi-step procedure described here and involves a Peer-review Committee (click here for the 2025 reviewers) that evaluates the submitted resources based on the review criteria detailed here.

Please contact CRB at contact_crb@bioinfocluster.ro for further information.
