The Biology Workbench, a Web-based interface integrating massive data repositories with powerful analysis programs, puts the power of bioinformatics at the fingertips of anyone with a Web-enabled computer. The workbench architecture transcends the molecular biology subject matter; it can be applied to any discipline and is the beginning of a twenty-first century approach to distributed knowledge. Researchers and medical doctors who use this new tool are able to access vital information necessary in finding cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, and AIDS. Researchers can use this software, which has an efficient and easy to use World Wide Web interface, without any prior training or familiarity with a specific computer platform or database. The Biology Workbench enables any user with a browser to efficiently access, extract and process data from remote databases.
At this site you will find resources designed to make the Biology Workbench a valuable teaching tool for students at a variety of skill levels.
