Life Sciences Distribution


CCTS bundle icon

The tools brought together in the caBIG™ Life Sciences Distribution facilitate the discovery of the next generation of cancer diagnostics and therapeutics to realize the vision of Molecular, or Personalized, Medicine. These tools support a variety of capabilities from tracking and managing biospecimens, to analyzing and integrating microarray data. Together, they enable cancer researchers to more easily integrate, analyze, and share data from many different sources.


The tools in the LSD are intended for use by research scientists and each provides an end user-oriented graphical user interface. In addition, each of the data management tools has a Java-based Application Programming Interface (API) and a caGrid compatible Grid Service for programmatic access to data. All of the applications are built on a common set of Open Source technologies for ease of installation and maintenance. Components of this bundle can be downloaded from the NCICB Download Center.


 

Life Sciences Distribution capabilities and tools include:

  • geWorkbench (coming soon) – geWorkbench will be available in a future release of the Life Sciences distribution. To access the latest version of geWorkbench, please visit geWorkbench.
