Abstract
The article reports the main provisions of the concept and solutions for creating the digital platform in the field of bioinformatics and the formation of the thematically oriented and industrial digital ecosystems on its basis. The composition and structure of the digital platform are discussed: information repositories, data and knowledge bases, thematically oriented software repository, task-oriented services for various target groups of users. Within the framework of the platform, it is also planned to organize a system of high-quality access to specialized data centres and high-performance computing infrastructure. Particular attention is devoted to one of the components of such platform - the project office for bioresource collections management. The project office has registered such types of collections as animal collections: wild and laboratory animals, live breeding, museum zoological animal collections, farm animals; plant collections: herbarium funds of plants biological diversity, living collections of natural flora, agricultural plants. Collection types such as collections of human biomaterials, cell culture collections, microorganism collections are important for medical research.

The article reports the main provisions of the concept and solutions for creating the digital platform in the field of bioinformatics and the formation of the thematically oriented and industrial digital ecosystems on its basis
The example of digital platform “Bioinformatics” can be considered the complex of the mutually complementary web-based systems of the information and computer support for the activities to manage the development of bioresource collections of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education developed at the Federal Research Centre Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS:
Summary
The solutions to problems of ensuring food safety and human health, development of biotechnology are largely related to scientific and technological potential of systemic and molecular biology, genetics. The results of research in the field of bioinformatics are mathematical and computer (software and hardware) tools for collection, storage, processing, analysis and visualization of biological data, solving applied problems based on analysis of biological data and modelling of biological systems. Thereby, the problem of its inventory and integration into the national digital platform “Bioinformatics”, focused on solving scientific and applied problems of systemic and molecular biology, genetics, is of particular urgency Such platform should conceptually be a database for data integration at the national level, providing information management tools for non-experts and after specialized analysis. The concept of the "Bioinformatics" digital platform involves the creation of the integrated solutions set, including: – The technologies and tools of “information storages”, databases and knowledge bases for organizing reliable storage of information resources and providing guaranteed access to them According to [33], the following are considered as the main characteristics of the digital ecosystem: information technology infrastructure and single information environment for participants’ interaction; openness and ability to connect new members; algorithmization of participants’ interaction; mutually beneficial interactions of participants (win-win principle); significance of the participants’ amount in the activity (scale); cost reduction for ecosystem participants
