Virtual machine

GeneMANIA helps you predict the function of your favourite genes and gene sets on your own machine.

The interface is backed by powerful analysis software and a large data warehouse containing extensive amounts of existing functional genomics data. The GeneMANIA virtual machine provides a local copy of the GeneMANIA webserver. Everything is self contained, and no internet access is required to use it.

Using the Virtual Machine

This allows anyone to access the GeneMANIA virtual machine over the network using their preferred operating system and browser.
