BioExtract Server harnesses the power of online informatics tools to create and customize workflows for querying online sequence data, analyzing it using various tools, and saving results and workflows in standardized reports. Users can build workflows by performing analysis tasks, which are automatically recorded. The BioExtract interface is based on Biomart and provides access to biomart data sources and datasets for analysis using tools integrated into the platform.

Workflow
BioMart Tools
A workflow in BioExtract involves automating the analysis processes that you perform
repeatedly. Any task—or even a series of tasks—that you need to perform on data is a candidate
for workflow automation. BioExtract's most unique feature may be its ability to record your tasks
as you perform them, and then turn those tasks into a workflow. This means that you create a
workflow by simply performing the tasks in your analysis job. It's that easy!
