The LabKey server is free and open source software for integrating, analyzing and sharing biomedical data. The LabKey server was developed under the name Computational Proteomics Analysis System (CPAS) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to handle the large amounts of data that arise there. A team wanted to make the software available to other scientific users and founded LabKey Software as a spin-off. With the LabKey server, data can be saved and queried web-based. Data can be imported from various databases ( PostgreSQL , Microsoft SQL Server , Oracle , MySQL ) and, for example, Microsoft Excel . In particular, there is support for data from the areas of mass spectrometry , flow cytometry , DNA chip technology , microtiter plate , ELISPOT , enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and observational studies . The LabKey server offers a platform to create projects based on data in a kind of web interface. Project pages can be used for data integration, analysis or visualization, for a wiki, for reports and other purposes and enable a workflow. Projects can be shared with other people with different public attitudes.
The LabKey server was written in Java . Java-based modules, but also extensions written in XML , HTML or JavaScript , can be used. In addition, Java as well as R , Python , Perl , SAS and JavaScript can be integrated. Also, SQL can be used for queries.
LabKey and Professor Dave O'Connor from the University of Wisconsin – Madison launched the Zika Open Research Portal in 2016 , using the LabKey server. The portal enables access to data from the Zika Experimental Science Team (ZEST) and is the first platform to share research data in real time .
