DESCRIPTION

The Department of Energy Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase, http://kbase.us ) is a software and data platform designed to meet the grand challenge of systems biology: predicting and designing biological function. KBase integrates data, tools, and their associated interfaces into one unified, scalable environment, so users do not need to access them from numerous sources or learn multiple systems in order to perform sophisticated systems biology analyses. Users can perform large-scale analyses and combine multiple lines of evidence to model plant and microbial physiology and community dynamics. KBase is the first large-scale bioinformatics system that enables users to upload their own data, analyze it (along with collaborator and public data), build increasingly realistic models, and share and publish their workflows and conclusions. KBase aims to provide a knowledgebase: an integrated environment where knowledge and insights are created and multiplied.
