Open Bioinformatics Foundation

The Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) is a non-profit organization that supports the development of open-source tools and resources for bioinformatics, the science of analyzing biological data like DNA and proteins. It fosters collaboration among scientists and software developers to create freely accessible software that helps researchers study genetics, medicine, and biology. By promoting open sharing and community-driven projects, the OBF accelerates scientific discovery and innovation in understanding living organisms, ultimately benefiting healthcare, agriculture, and environmental research.
