  • Why read this guide? : You are curious or wish to build an app for Tercen, then this is the guide.

  • Acknowledgement: I would like to thank all the users for their feedback. It has helped us improve Tercen.

  • Motivation:
    Tercen promotes collaboration for data analysis. Not everyone can code or even wants to, but everyone should benefit from the explosion of data and code currently taking place. Tercen allows non programmers (e.g. biologists) to explore their data and allows programmers (e.g. bioinformaticians) to upload their code (or web-apps) for the biologist to use. By offering this services we believe biologist get empowered and can claim back control of their data. The bioinformatician gets liberated from the operational details and day to day analysis demands from the biologist. This is summed up with the phrase:

Tercen empowers the biologist and liberates the bioinformatician.
