# BioSuiteT: A Unified Tool for Biological Sequence Analysis
## 5 Conclusions  
This research presents BioSuiteT, a unified web-based platform that integrates multiple bioinformatics tools while addressing many challenges identified in the usage of existing bioinformatics tools. The implementation of BioSuiteT demonstrates that it is possible to create an integrated platform that eliminates installation barriers that affected users through its web-based deployment option and automated scripts for local deployment. Furthermore, it addresses the programming expertise barrier that affected 20.8% of users through its GUI implementation, making bioinformatics tools accessible for users without programming expertise. \begin{table}

Table 4: Comparison of functionalities between ExPASy, NCBI Tools, and BioSuiteT. “Partial” indicates that the functionality is only partially supported—either limited in scope, applicability, or implementation. ✔ means a functionality that is covered, ✔ means a function that is not covered. “Limited” refers to functionalities that are constrained in performance, usability, or depend heavily on specific conditions, configurations, or external dependencies. Modularity refers to a software design principle that enables the independent implementation of new features. The integration of BioSuiteT successfully consolidates twelve essential bioinformatics functionalities into a single environment, addressing the 20.8% demand for unified platforms. The use of Django as the integration framework effectively responds to the 14.6% of users who expressed the need for unified frameworks, demonstrating that modern web technologies can successfully serve as a foundation for integrated bioinformatics tools. The performance results validate the platform's capability to handle concurrent users while maintaining efficient memory management. The validation process, involving researchers, experts, and practitioners, confirms that BioSuiteT achieves its goal of improving accessibility while maintaining functionality for biological sequence analysis. BioSuiteT reduces the time spent on tool installation and configuration, allowing researchers to focus more on their analytical work rather than technical setup and troubleshooting. This addresses the concern of 31.25% of users who reported spending more time on technical issues. While BioSuiteT represents a significant advancement in making bioinformatics tools more accessible and integrated, it also reveals areas for future development, particularly in terms of scalability, additional specialized functionalities, and offline capabilities.
