= About MOLGENIS =
MOLGENIS was conceived in a project called 'Invengine' by a small                         Dutch company called                         [http://www.inventory.nl/ Inventory.nl]                         . Early 2002 this company took on a project to develop a microarray                         database for the                         [http://molgen.biol.rug.nl/ 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                         [http://www.rug.nl/gbic The Groningen Bioinformatics Center]                         .
