Since its creation, LabKey has partnered with several entities to spread word of open-source [[proteomics]] and other analysis tools to research facilities. In May 2008, LabKey lent support to Seattle businesses Insilicos and the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). The goal of the collaboration was to port proteomics software tools like LabKey Server through Amazon's cloud servers, allowing potential research groups with IT budgets to utilize the proteomics applications and scale up web service as demand grows.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://insilicos.com/news/insilicos-awarded-grant-for-life-science-computing |title=Insilicos Awarded Grant for Life Science Computing |publisher=Insilicos LLC |date=5 May 2008 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.genomeweb.com/informatics/insilicos-partners-labkey-isb-port-proteomics-software-tools-amazon’s-cloud |title=Insilicos Partners with LabKey, ISB to Port Proteomics Software Tools to Amazon’s Cloud |author=Toner, Bernadette |publisher=Genomeweb LLC |date=9 May 2008 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref> A few months later, LabKey announced another collaboration, this time with the Microsoft BioIT Alliance, an association of life science organizations and informatics companies focused on accelerating the pace of drug discovery and development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/google/20080918005145/en |title=LabKey Software Joins BioIT Alliance |publisher=Business Wire |date=18 September 2012 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref>

Like the majority of open-source businesses, Bika derives its income from support and other services. Contact LabKey for rates and information.

History

In January 2005, LabKey Software (now blanketed under "LabKey Corporation") was created, with the help of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC).[1][2] The entity was set up in response to growing interest in the Computational Proteomics Analysis System (CPAS) software system being developed through the FHCRC.[1] On December 8, 2005, CPAS' source code was released to coincide with the the January 1, 2006 print publication of the groups corresponding paper in the Journal of Proteome Research, making it officially an open-source release.[3] Eventually CPAS would go on to become LabKey Server in April 2007.[4]

Since its creation, LabKey has partnered with several entities to spread word of open-source proteomics and other analysis tools to research facilities. In May 2008, LabKey lent support to Seattle businesses Insilicos and the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). The goal of the collaboration was to port proteomics software tools like LabKey Server through Amazon's cloud servers, allowing potential research groups with IT budgets to utilize the proteomics applications and scale up web service as demand grows.[5][6] A few months later, LabKey announced another collaboration, this time with the Microsoft BioIT Alliance, an association of life science organizations and informatics companies focused on accelerating the pace of drug discovery and development.[7]
