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.

"BioCyc.org is a microbial genome Web portal that combines thousands of genomes with additional information inferred by computer programs, imported from other databases and curated from the biomedical literature by biologist curators. BioCyc also provides an extensive range of query tools, visualization services and analysis software." (Karp et al., 2019)
Biorender is an online graphics tool for building high quality figures for the life sciences. Our institutional account will allow discounted access to all faculty, staff and students. All licenses expire on May 30th of each year regardless of when the license is purchased.
CLC Genomics Workbench allows users to analyze and visualize nexg generation sequencing (NGS) data. CLC Genomics Workbench supports the complete resequencing pipeline for detecting and comparing genetic variants.
Estimate variance-mean dependence in count data from high-throughput sequencing assays and test for differential expression based on a model using the negative binomial distribution. Available through the bioconductor package in R
FCS Express analyzes raw flow cytometry data and allows production of presentations, spreadsheets and reports.
i2b2 enables researchers to discover cohorts of patients using data from EHR systems. Through a point-and-click interface, researchers can build queries drawing from demographics, diagnoses, procedures, medications, and results recorded in Epic, the EHR system of Weill Cornell Physician Organization outpatient clinics (access to data from Eclipsys/Allscripts Sunrise Clinical Manager, the EHR system of NewYork-Presbyterian inpatient units, is planned). i2b2 supports different types of queries of clinical data, including whether clinical concepts occurred at any point in a patient’s medical history, during a particular visit, or in a sequence of events. Using de-identified data, investigators can determine potential cohorts of interest for later obtaining identified or limited data sets with Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval
LabArchives is a secure, cloud-based electronic lab notebook (ELN) designed for research. This ELN system enables researchers to capture, manage, store, and share information and data. LabArchives facilitates collaboration amongst researchers within a loab, institution, and with external stakeholders.
MacVector provides numerous functions for DNA and protein analysis, including sequence editing, primer design, internet database searching, protein analysis, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic reconstruction, coding region analysis, and agarose gel simulation.
Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-development tools. MS Access is freely available for WCM ITS-tagged PCs through the Software Center application.
Qualtrics is web based software that allows the user to create surveys and generate reports without having any previous programming knowledge. Qualtrics enables you to do surveys, feedback and polls using a variety of distribution means. Results can be viewed in reports and can be downloaded. Qualtrics allows you to share surveys and results as well as collaborating with other users.
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.
REDCap is a PHP-based system, developed by Vanderbilt University and currently managed and updated through a national consortium, that supports the rapid setup of secure, Web-based study-specific database systems and associated forms. It provides full field validation capabilities (customized to each study), import/export (including export to common statistical packages such as SAS, SPSS and Excel), and file upload/management functions. It includes a complete suite of features to support HIPAA compliance, including a full audit trail, user-based privileges, and integration with the institutional LDAP server. REDCap is available free of charge to any clinical/translational research study being conducted at Weill Cornell or any of its CTSA partner institutions. Many studies can be supported with REDCap alone. For those studies that require a higher level of complexity and/or customization than is readily supported by REDCap, programmers experienced in clinical research data management are available through the Core Informatics Group. Depending upon the nature of the study and the extent of its needs for customized programming, a charge-back arrangement may be required.
SAP Lumira (formerly called SAP Visual Intelligence) is a self-service, data visualization application for business users.
The SEER*Stat statistical software provides a convenient, intuitive mechanism for the analysis of SEER and other cancer-related databases. It is a powerful PC tool to view individual cancer records and to produce statistics for studying the impact of cancer on a population. SEER*Stat software is distributed with the SEER Research Data and you must have access to the data before using the software.
