Venue to publish a bioinformatics tool

Question

[9606]

I would like to (try to) publish a software I have been developing; the software is for analyzing and integrating data from ENCODE, and of course will be open source.

I know about Bioinformatics APPLICATIONS NOTES as a possible venue, but I would like to evaluate alternatives.

Can anyone point me to some valid journal accepting this kind of publications?

F1000 software tools.

Alternatively you can let JANE figure this out for you.

NAR has webserver and database issues. Pretty competitive.

• Nucleic Acids Research
• Genome Biology (Software)

I had good experience with Molecular Informatics, after rejection by Bioinformatics. It is indexed by pubmed, and impact factor is just below 2.
