''' You can download a ready-to-run XGAP installation.''' 						This 						[http://www.xgap.org/wiki/XgapInstall software] 						includes a graphical user interface, mysql/postgresql database, 						communication interfaces to the 						[http://www.r-project.org/ R statistical project] 						and web services that can be used within 						[http://taverna.sourceforge.net/ Taverna] 						, and import/export tools to upload and download XGAP-TAB 						formatted data.

The real power of XGAP is that one can easily extend and adapt 						model and software to accommodate new experimental designs and 						molecular technologies. The XGAP object model has systematic 						extension points for you to add new types of Subjects and Traits. 						You can download a 						'''developer edition of XGAP''' 						and then use the 						[http://www.molgenis.org/ MOLGENIS] 						database generator tool to quickly customize XGAP to your needs.
