BioCompLab tools hub

Integrated bioinformatics access without hiding the source.

These wrappers provide a common BioCompLab interface for public bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, proteomics, structural biology, metabolomics, and pathway services. All tools are public in this first phase, while recommended future access levels are already recorded.

Integration policy

BioCompLab wrappers use official APIs, permitted linkouts, or local visualization components. The portal must not bypass provider authentication, usage policies, rate limits, CORS, or attribution requirements.

Data safety

Users should not submit confidential, clinical, unpublished, controlled, or proprietary sequences to external public services. BioCompLab provides an integrated access layer, not ownership of external data.
