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.

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.
