Welcome to the Library's Scientific Software Hub. Here you can find information and access to all the software that is licensed to Weill Cornell Medicine faculty, staff and students, or is freely available. The library is also assisting groups of users who would like to share the licensing costs of specialized software - use the Suggest New Software form to inquire about new software costs or cost sharing. We also offer assistance in gaining access to data through many online repositories. For any questions or issues, please email scisoft@med.cornell.edu.

Bioconductor provides tools for the analysis and comprehension of high-throughput genomic data. Bioconductor uses the R statistical programming language, and is open source and open development. It has two releases each year, 1296 software packages, and an active user community.
Cytoscape is an open source software platform for visualizing molecular interaction networks and biological pathways and integrating these networks with annotations, gene expression profiles and other state data. Although Cytoscape was originally designed for biological research, now it is a general platform for complex network analysis and visualization. Cytoscape core distribution provides a basic set of features for data integration, analysis, and visualization. Additional features are available as Apps (formerly called Plugins). Apps are available for network and molecular profiling analyses, new layouts, additional file format support, scripting, and connection with databases. They may be developed by anyone using the Cytoscape open API based on Java™ technology and App community development is encouraged. Most of the Apps are freely available from Cytoscape App Store.
Endnote is a bibliographic management tool for storing and accessing shared references, documents and files. Endnote allows the autmated insertion of citations in MS Word in over 6000 styles. Endnote can retrieve the full text of all articles in your library from freely available sources and the Samuel J. Wood library's subscriptions.
The FlowJo workspace is a powerful statistical environment that is used for immunophenotyping, cell cycle, proliferation, kinetics studies, quantitative population comparison, or plate screening assays.
Annual license cost is determined by the number of active users each quarter. Thus we can only provide an estimate of the cost based on current usage.
GraphPad Prism combines scientific graphing, comprehensive curve fitting (nonlinear regression), understandable statistics, and data organization. While it won't replace a heavy-duty statistics program, Prism lets you easily perform basic statistical tests commonly used by laboratory and clinical researchers. Prism offers t tests, nonparametric comparisons, one-, two- and three-way ANOVA, analysis of contingency tables, and survival analysis. Analysis choices are presented in clear language that avoids unnecessary statistical jargon.
Due to high demand, one GraphPad Prism license is charged $30/year/machine. Starting October 1st, 2025, a GraphPad license will be charged $150/year/machine (60% discount compared to public pricing) due to license cost increase from the vendor.
DNASTAR's Lasergene Molecular Biology Suite is our comprehensive package of molecular biology software, meeting all of your sequence analysis needs. Supported workflows include performing multiple and pairwise sequence alignments, identifying genes, assembling contigs of Sanger sequences, creating virtual clones, designing primers, and more.
Ledidi Core is a secure web-based platform for research projects and clinical registries with functionality for study design, creation of data entry forms and eCRFs in combination with built-in-tools for statistical analysis and data visualization. The statistical analyses include descriptive statistics, parametric and non-parametric tests, regression analyses, contingency tables and survival analyses. It is suited for international collaborations, or for single or multi-center projects.
The MATLAB platform is optimized for solving engineering and scientific problems. The matrix-based MATLAB language is the world’s most natural way to express computational mathematics. Built-in graphics make it easy to visualize and gain insights from data. A vast library of prebuilt toolboxes lets you get started right away with algorithms essential to your domain. The desktop environment invites experimentation, exploration, and discovery. These MATLAB tools and capabilities are all rigorously tested and designed to work together.
Cornell’s MATLAB license is only valid for personnel located in North America. Students, staff, and faculty at the Weill Cornell College of Medicine in Qatar are not currently eligible for this license. We are working on extending our license to that campus. We apologize for any inconvenience.
R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS.
RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R. It includes a console, syntax-highlighting editor that supports direct code execution, as well as tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management.
SAS (Statistical Analysis System) is a software suite developed by SAS Institute for advanced analytics, multivariate analyses, business intelligence, data management, and predictive analytics. The suite purchased through WCM includes
The SAS license is valid from May 15, 2021 to May 14, 2022
IBM SPSS Statistics is an integrated family of products that helps to address the entire analytical process, from planning and data collection to analysis, reporting and deployment. With more than a dozen fully integrated modules to choose from, you can find the specialized capabilities you need to increase revenue, outperform competitors and make better decisions. SPSS Statistics Base provides a range of statistical procedures suitable for many problems, including crosstabs, linear regression, Monte Carlo simulation, geospatial analytics, and the ability to extend built-in capabilities with Python, R, or Java code.
The SPSS license is valid from April 1 to March 31.
Stat/Transfer is designed to simplify the transfer of statistical data between different programs. Stat/Transfer will automatically read statistical data in the internal format of one of the supported programs and will then transfer as much of the information as is present and appropriate to the internal format of another. Stat/Transfer preserves all of the precision in your data, while automatically minimizing the size of your output data set. Stat/Transfer also allows control over the storage format of your output variables. In addition to converting the formats of variables, Stat/Transfer also processes variable names, missing values, and value and variable labels automatically.
Stata is a complete, integrated statistical software package.
