  1. These metrics are indicators of the health of the tools: number of people maintaining the tools, frequency of update, the responsivity of the developing team. Most of the tools can support both TnSeq and TraDis. The gray words indicate that the tools support the data in theory but will necessitate adapting the data. Across this list of tools, Bio-Tradis and TRANSIT seem well maintained. The other tools with git hub repositories have only one contributor, which means that the tool could stop being maintained if the one contributor change project. Among these 3, 2 have not been updated since the first release some years ago. Three tools have no Github directory, although ESSENTIAL has an svn repository. The svn logs showed a single commit in 2012
