摘要：近年来，快速的技术进步导致了生物医学数据的爆炸式增长。变革的步伐激发了新的协作方法来共享材料和资源，以帮助培训生命科学家使用尖端生物信息学工具和数据库以及如何分析和解释大型数据集。最近，生物信息学培训网络（BTN）创建了一个共享此类培训资源的原型平台。在这项工作的基础上，我们建立了一个共享培训材料和课程的中央门户，包括一个培训员和课程组织者目录，以及一个培训活动公告服务。对课程组织者来说，门户网站提供了宣传其培训活动的机会;对培训员来说，门户网站提供了一个分享材料、宣传其工作和提高其技能的环境;对受训者来说，门户网站提供了一个方便的一站式商店，可供寻找适当的培训资源和确定当地和世界各地的相关培训活动。
A Summary: Rapid technological advances have led to an explosion of biomedical data in recent years. The pace of change has inspired new collaborative approaches for sharing materials and resources to help train life scientists both in the use of cutting-edge bioinformatics tools and databases and in how to analyse and interpret large datasets. A prototype platform for sharing such training resources was recently created by the Bioinformatics Training Network (BTN). Building on this work, we have created a centralized portal for sharing training materials and courses, including a catalogue of trainers and course organizers, and an announcement service for training events. For course organizers, the portal provides opportunities to promote their training events; for trainers, the portal offers an environment for sharing materials, for gaining visibility for their work and promoting their skills; for trainees, it offers a convenient one-stop shop for finding suitable training resources and identifying relevant training events and activities locally and worldwide.
