TIGR releases source code to MultiExperimentViewer under open-source-like license
Submitted by Ido Tamir; posted on Tuesday, August 06, 2002 (1 comment)
TIGR has released the source code for its TIGR MultiExperiment Viewer (MEV) application, a program which allows the analysis of microarray data. It provides methods for normalization, selection of differentially expressed genes and clustering. Since the source code is available, and TIGR provided documented APIs for analysis, the whole program is easily extensible. In addition to this, the license grants you the right to "freely reproduce and distribute such modifications and derivative works" as long as you provide a copy to TIGR.
A person from TIGR has also announced the release of a MySQL-based database backend to this program, where whole datasets of microarray data can be stored. This upcoming release should also carry a "linux-like license".
It will be interesting to see how fast open source microarray analysis packages (genex et al.) will be incorporating this program.

Sorry, but this is no open source. The software is restricted to "academic, government, and other nonprofit institutions for noncommercial, nonprofit internal research purposes".
Cheers,
