WEGAN

WEGAN (Web Ecology Group ANalysis) provides an easily accessible web interface ecological data analysis. WEGAN version 1.0 is currently updated and maintained by Wishart Lab at University of Alberta.

Implementation:

WEGAN was implemented using PrimeFaces library (v6.1) based on JavaServer Faces Technology. The majority of the backend computations and visualization are carried out by functions written in R (v4.0.5). Communication between Java and R is established through TCP/IP using the Rserve program.
