TeSS: a platform for discovering life-science training opportunities

Bioinformatics. 2020 May 1;36(10):3290-3291. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa047.

Abstract

Summary: Dispersed across the Internet is an abundance of disparate, disconnected training information, making it hard for researchers to find training opportunities that are relevant to them. To address this issue, we have developed a new platform-TeSS-which aggregates geographically distributed information and presents it in a central, feature-rich portal. Data are gathered automatically from content providers via bespoke scripts. These resources are cross-linked with related data and tools registries, and made available via a search interface, a data API and through widgets.
