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://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/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.
