Introduction

The technical set-up of a CLC Bioinformatics Database involves both a database back-end and a server middle layer that the Workbench connects to. This server layer also has a web interface which has very basic capabilities for uploading, downloading, browsing and searching for data.

The functionality of the CLC Bioinformatics Database can be extended by installation of Server plugins. The available plugins can be found at http://www.clcbio.com/server_plugins.
