[BioC] Is anyone developing an extensible Galaxy-like interface for Bioconductor?

[Scott Markel]

Deanne,

SciTegic Enterprise Server and Pipeline Pilot offer an extensible
client-server data retrieval, filtering, analysis, and reporting
platform.  Pipeline Pilot comes with many toolkits called collections.
The Gene Expression Collection's core functionality is built on top of
BioConductor.  The R-Statistics collection can be easily extended to
add any desired additional BioConductor functionality.  The Professional
client has a drag and drop visual icon/data flow interface; the web
client can be configured to create different client interfaces.
