Overview

(who uses this , why/ what for? background )

caWorkbench is an open-source bioinformatics platform that offers a comprehensive and extendible collection of tools for the management, analysis, visualization and annotation of biomedical data. It provides biomedical researchers with a user-friendly software application that automates analysis of disparate data types. Some key caWorkbench features include: Support for a variety of genomic data including microarrays, sequences, pathways, networks, alignments and phenotypes. 。 Data loading from both local and remote sources. 。 Access to remote servers and clusters for the performance of computationally intensive calculations.

。 Integration of analyses with biological annotations from the National Cancer Institute.

Major areas of focus include:

1. Microarray bbbbb
2. another
3. another thing
4. yet another
