The QUT Bioinformatics Collection: source code

Viewed: 2178

The QUT Bioinformatics Collection is a suite of interrelated programs and libraries to help bioinformaticians visualise, navigate, query and work with genomic data. The initial public release of the collection introduces SilverMap, a BLAST visualisation tool, along with supporting libraries that allow integration in applications that use Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight display technologies.

Access rights

New and revised versions of the QUT Bioinformatics collection (QUT.Bio) are freely available to the bioinformatics community as open source software published under the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL). Project hosting is provided by CodePlex.
