= Welcome to MOLGENIS =
MOLGENIS is two things:
1. For biologists MOLGENIS is a suite of web databases for genotype, phenotype, QTL and analysis pipelines.
2. For bioinformaticians MOLGENIS is software generator to rapidly build web databases that make your biologists happy. 

Each MOLGENIS has nice web user interfaces as well as scriptable interfaces to plug-in R, Java and web services.

If you think your project should be listed (differently) please [mailto:m.a.swertz@rug.nl let us know]

= Developing your own =
Generate [wiki:MolgenisGuide generate your own] in three steps:

 1. Model what you want for your experiment in a simple XML file [https://github.com/molgenis/molgenis-sdk/blob/master/src/main/resources/molgenis_db.xml example db], [https://github.com/molgenis/molgenis-sdk/blob/master/src/main/resources/molgenis_ui.xml example ui]
 1. Run the MOLGENIS generator
 1. Use your web application [http://gbicserver1.biol.rug.nl:8080/demo example].
