geWorkbench[2] (genomics Workbench) is an open-source software platform for integrated genomic data analysis. It is a desktop application written in the programming language Java. geWorkbench uses a component architecture. As of 2016[update], there are more than 70 plug-ins[3] available, providing for the visualization and analysis of gene expression, sequence, and structure data.
geWorkbench is the Bioinformatics platform of MAGNet,[4] the National Center for the Multi-scale Analysis of Genomic and Cellular Networks, one of the 8 National Centers for Biomedical Computing[5] funded through the NIH Roadmap (NIH Common Fund[6]). Many systems and structure biology tools developed by MAGNet investigators are available as geWorkbench plugins.
