= Welcome to the MOLGENIS open source project =
MOLGENIS is a lightweight, model-driven software framework for bioinformatics applications. Model what you need in a simple XML file [http://molgenis.sourceforge.net/distro/molgenis_db.xml example], Run the generator and Use your database [http://gbicserver1.biol.rug.nl:8080/demo example].Our mission is to help bioinformatics developers to produce great and userfriendly software that researchers want to have. You can today use MOLGENIS to generate a database back-end, rich user interface and integrate with R, Java and web service APIs.
