ELIXIR Research Software Ecosystem (RSEc) centralizes and curates high-quality metadata for computational biology software tools, providing a single, trusted resource for researchers. By synchronizing metadata from major software-related services, RSEc enables the discovery, validation and cross-linking of software information. Researchers can use the resource to explore software metadata and improve the consistency and quality of information across the computational biology landscape.

RSEc is open, version-controlled and hosted on GitHub. This centralized approach facilitates curation, promotes interoperability and supports the development of new services, ultimately enhancing the reliability and utility of research software.

ELIXIR is a European research infrastructure which manages and safeguards the massive amounts of life science data and tools being generated by publicly-funded research. RSEc has been developed as part of the ELIXIR Tools Platform.
