Seelow, Dominik
Summary
This editorial introduces the 24th annual Nucleic Acids Research Web Server Issue (2026), which features 47 web servers — a thinner issue than previous years. The editor highlights bio.tools as a notable resource: a collection of life sciences applications that provides an overview of the many tools and databases that have emerged. The editorial also promises to discuss reasons for the issue's reduced size and introduces a novel concept for the future of web server publishing.

· 4 pulledThis is the 24th special issue for Web Servers.
It is rather 'thinner' than the last, featuring 47 web servers, for likely reasons that I will discuss later in this editorial.
One web server that deserves particular mention is https://bio.tools, a collection of applications for life sciences.
While not a classical scientific web server, websites like bio.tools are urgently needed because they provide a useful, albeit far from complete, overview of the many tools and databases that have emerged over the last few years or even decades.
