NCBO Developer Documentation
With the explosion of information in the biomedical domain, it has become much harder for scientists to access knowledge and experimental data with rapidity and accuracy. The NCBO is currently developing products and solutions that will advance biology and medicine by enhancing the structured organization of knowledge and improving access to large repositories of biomedical knowledge and data.
NCBO Source Code Repository
NCBO source code for all products and solutions can be found on our [NCBO GForge site|https://bmir-gforge.stanford.edu/gf/project/ncbo/].
