Welcome to the National Cancer Institute's Center for Bioinformatics (NCICB) Open Source Project Site.

• The NCICB plays a lead role in bioinformatics and information technology by building many types of tools and resources that enable information to be shared along the continuum from the scientific bench to the clinical bedside and back.
• caBIG™ is the cornerstone of NCI's biomedical informatics efforts to work together, leveraging valuable resources to transform cancer research into a more collaborative, efficient, and effective endeavor.
• NCI's collaborative development is based on standard software practices stemming from the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and incorporating Object Management Group's (OMG) Model Driven Architecture (MDA). More information about NCI's software development methodology, policies and procedures can be found on the Software Configuration Management (SCM) Initiative project page.

• My Page - This tab serves as your login page once you have a GForge account and facilitates navigation to projects you have joined.
• Project Tree - This tab includes links to all NCICB and caBIG project pages where you will find additional information. Once you have a GForge account, you can navigate to any visible project in GForge and request to join that project.
