About BioGPS

BioGPS (http://biogps.org) is a free extensible and customizable gene annotation portal, a complete resource for learning about gene and protein function. Users can register any web-based biological resource as a “plugin” in BioGPS, and other users can then use this resource and mix-match with any other desired resources to make their own customized gene annotation page (called a gene-report “layout” in BioGPS).  BioGPS receives millions of hits per year, and is freely and publicly available at biogps.org.

If you are motivated, welcome to fork our code, check out our issue pages, take over one of them and impress us with a pull request.

Happy coding!
