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-ins supporting the visualization and analysis of gene expression and sequence data.

geWorkbench is the Bioinformatics platform of MAGNet, the National Center for the Multi-scale Analysis of Genomic and Cellular Networks, hosted at Columbia University. Many more components are scheduled for development in the context of this effort.

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.
