Top bioinformatics GitHub repos

fieldcady · 01-02-2019, 07:09 PM

I work on the Semantic Scholar academic search engine, and wanted to let people know about a blog post we just put up where we combed through 7 million biomed papers and found the most-mentioned GitHub repos. The top one was Sickle, and 14 out of the top 15 were bioinformatics (the 15th was Keras, a general deep learning library). Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing! Interesting project.

Thanks SES! Also do you have any suggestions about the best ways to let people know about the blog? We're mostly just a bunch of computer scientists at Semantic Scholar so we don't know the field well - I literally found this forum by googling around. But if the post is worthwhile for bioinformatics specialists I would really love to spread it around a bit more. Thanks!!
