About MOLGENIS

MOLGENIS was conceived in a project called 'Invengine' by a small Dutch company called ​Inventory.nl . Early 2002 this company took on a project to develop a microarray database for the ​Groningen University . The big challenge was that the research was still developing and hence the software needed to be flexible. Invegine did the job perfectly. Since then there has been many years of development (amongst it a complete redesign from PHP to Java to accomodate large scale genetics data). Early 2008, Inventory.nl kindly open-sourced the software as 'MOLGENIS' under a dual-license (LGPL for non-profit and commercial license) in collaboration with ​The Groningen Bioinformatics Center .
