The aim is to find statistically and biologically significant relations between experimental genomic datasets, typically stemming from high-throughput genome sequencing. This system has been developed in Python (> 90.000 code lines), using NumPy for efficient vector calculations and Rpy2 for connecting to the R statistical platform. The HyperBrowser system has been used in a range of bioinformatics and biomedical research projects, both nationally and internationally, and is also the basis for a growing number of master projects in the Department of Informatics.<br><br>The initial ELIXIR.NO infrastructure, as well as the HyperBrowser system, is based upon the Galaxy framework (<a href="http://usegalaxy.org/">http://usegalaxy.org</a>), which is a leading framework for accessible, reproducible and transparent biomedical research.
