BioMate

Lab-bench biologists find it difficult to use many existing tools for their data analysis. These tools are generally command-line computer programs written by computational biologists. Computational biologists do not have time to create user-friendly interfaces for their programs, and often find themselves spending a lot of time helping lab-bench biologists run their programs. This creates a burden for all involved: lab-bench biologists cannot move forward with their data analysis, and computational biologists cannot move forward with their research.

Implementation

Accessing the Prototype

Our software is accessible at the following URL: http://rytaft.scripts.mit.edu/6.831/GR5/src/biomate_login.html.

Platform and Software Requirements

Our software can run on any modern browser and any operating system. We have tested our code on several browsers and it seems to work best on Chrome.
