[[BlogList(recent=5, max_size=150, format=float, heading=News, category=AnimalDB)]] [[TracNav(MainNav)]] = Welcome to AnimalDB.org = == What is AnimalDB? == In general the AnimalDB project aims at developing a system which can be used to store, retrieve and manage all information necessary for and gathered in biological and or biomedical animal research. AnimalDB is based on '''Molgenis''' [http://www.molgenis.org] a free, model-driven software platform for the generation of web applications and is implemented using the [http://www.phenoflow.org/wiki/PhenoStart "''Phenoflow''"] datamodel specifications. == Why AnimalDB? == Biomedical research involving animals is a complex enterprise. AnimalDB aims to support reasearchers and reasearch assisants, such as biotechnicians and animal caretakers, in administering and carrying out their daily tasks in biomedical animal research. Furthermore it aims to be able to automatize the generation of reports and statistics based on the data administered by its users, ultimately resulting in higher quality of the statistics and reports and less administrative load for researchers. AnimalDB is at this stage primarily developed for biomedical researchers at the Faculty of Mathemics and Natural Sciences ([http://www.rug.nl/fwn FMNS]) of the University of Groningen. == Who are behind AnimalDB? == AnimalDB is created by several [wiki:ProjectPeople People]. AnimalDB development is funded by the [http://www.rug.nl/fwn/index Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences] of the [http://www.rug.nl University of Groningen], [[BR]] and supported by the [http://gbic.target.rug.nl/trac/gcc Genomics Coordination Center]. == Try AnimalDB == You can visit our [http://demo.animaldb.org demo] web application ''(login with user: demo, password: demo)'', f you want to try AnimalDB, or if you want to see a working implementation of the the [http://www.phenoflow.org/wiki/PhenoStart "''Phenoflow''"] datamodel. You can find the AnimalDB source code in the [http://www.molgenis.org/browser/molgenis_apps/trunk molgenis_apps] project, in the Molgenis SVN repository.
