高通量测序技术的快速发展将生物学带入了大数据时代。使用各种生物信息学工具进行数据分析依赖于编程和命令行环境，这对大多数湿实验室生物学家来说是具有挑战性和耗时的。在这里，我们介绍了TBtools（一个集成了各种生物数据处理工具的生物学家工具包），这是一个具有用户友好界面的独立软件。该工具包包含130多个功能，旨在满足日益增长的大数据分析需求，从批量序列处理到交互式数据可视化。使用新的绘图引擎（“JIGplot”），可以在TBtools中准备各种各样的图形，以最大限度地提高其交互能力；这个引擎允许快速点击修改几乎每一个图形特性。TBtools是独立于平台的软件，可以在使用Java Runtime Environment 1.6或更新版本的所有操作系统下运行。它是免费提供给非商业用户在https://github.com/CJ-Chen/TBtools/releases。
The rapid development of high-throughput sequencing techniques has led biology into the big-data era. Data analyses using various bioinformatics tools rely on programming and command-line environments, which are challenging and time-consuming for most wet-lab biologists. Here, we present TBtools (a Toolkit for Biologists integrating various biological data-handling tools), a stand-alone software with a user-friendly interface. The toolkit incorporates over 130 functions, which are designed to meet the increasing demand for big-data analyses, ranging from bulk sequence processing to interactive data visualization. A wide variety of graphs can be prepared in TBtools using a new plotting engine ("JIGplot") developed to maximize their interactive ability; this engine allows quick point-and-click modification of almost every graphic feature. TBtools is platform-independent software that can be run under all operating systems with Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or newer. It is freely available to non-commercial users at https://github.com/CJ-Chen/TBtools/releases.
