geWorkbench is a Java-based open-source platform for integrated genomics. Using a component architecture it allows individually developed plug-ins to be configured into complex bioinformatic applications. At present there are more than 30 available plug-in components supporting the visualization and analysis of gene expression and sequence data. Many more components are scheduled for development in the context of MAGNet, the National Center for Biomedical Computing hosted at Columbia University.

geWorkbench builds on caWorkbench, a project funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Academic Medical Development Company (AMDeC). Additional information about the history of this effort can be found here.
