OMERO: flexible, model-driven data management for experimental biology

The Open Microscopy Environment Remote Objects (OMERO) software platform provides a server-based system for managing and analyzing microscopy images and non-image data. Data-intensive research depends on tools that manage multidimensional, heterogeneous datasets. We built OME Remote Objects (OMERO),...

More Information
Summary:The Open Microscopy Environment Remote Objects (OMERO) software platform provides a server-based system for managing and analyzing microscopy images and non-image data. Data-intensive research depends on tools that manage multidimensional, heterogeneous datasets. We built OME Remote Objects (OMERO), a software platform that enables access to and use of a wide range of biological data. OMERO uses a server-based middleware application to provide a unified interface for images, matrices and tables. OMERO's design and flexibility have enabled its use for light-microscopy, high-content-screening, electron-microscopy and even non-image-genotype data. OMERO is open-source software, available at http://openmicroscopy.org/ .
