Review advanced resources and support options
geWorkbench is developed and maintained by the Integrative Cancer Research (ICR) Workspace, which works to produce interoperable tools and resources to assist researchers in the analysis of molecular and genomic data.
caBIG® offers a number of support options for those learning about and deploying caBIG® tools and resources.
- Get additional help from Support Service Providers.
- Learn from others using geWorkbench and address any additional questions through the end user discussion forum.
geWorkbench is part of a collection of life science software tools designed to facilitate the discovery of the next generation of cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. Other applications and infrastructure of interest include:
- Genomic data workflow tool (GenePattern): Analyze gene expression, proteomic, and SNP data; create multi-step analysis pipelines that enable in silico research.
- Genomic variation analyzer (caGWAS): Integrate, query, analyze, and report associations between genetic variations and disease, drug response, and other clinical outcomes.
- Microarray data management system (caArray): Support annotation and exchange of array data; integrate array data with clinical, imaging, tissue, and other functional genomics data.
- Data analysis portal (caIntegrator): Access and analyze clinical and experimental data across multiple clinical trials and studies.
- Molecular analysis portal (CMA): Find novel correlations between data and observations using analytical tools that help to visualize and integrate genomic data with corresponding clinical information.
