caWorkBench3.0, an open source bioinformatics platform written in Java, makes sophisticated tools for data management, analysis and visualization available to the community in a convenient fashion. Some of the most fully developed capabilities of the platform include microarray data analysis, pathway analysis and reverse engineering, sequence analysis, transcription factor binding site analysis, and pattern discovery.

The focus in caWorkBench3.0 is on data and algorithm integration. As a result, caWorkBench3.0 users will be naturally able to combine the analysis in over 50 available caWorkBench3.0 components using a simple and intuitive communication model.

The most important feature of caWorkBench3.0 is that it allows structured communication between disparate software modules, which may be written with little or no knowledge of each other. Both new and pre-existing software can be integrated into the caWorkBench3.0 platform. Computationally intensive algorithms are implemented as services on Bioinformatics Core Facility computers, with the caWorkBench3.0 client serving as a front end.
