The ever-increasing number of bioinformatics software tools that are publicly available, is leading to greater expectations about its regular use in clinical practice. However, from the end-users' perspective, they face many time the challenge of choosing the right tool for each task, from a panoply of solutions that have been developed over the years. In this paper, we propose a benchmarking methodology, based on a set of performance indicators, which can be used to identify the best methods and tools for each particular use case, both in research as in clinical practice.
公开可用的生物信息学软件工具数量不断增加，这使得人们对其在临床实践中的常规使用有了更高的期望。然而，从终端用户的角度来看，他们常常面临着从多年来开发的众多解决方案中为每项任务选择合适工具的挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于一组性能指标的基准测试方法，该方法可用于确定在研究和临床实践中针对每个特定用例的最佳方法和工具。
