About The iPlant Collaborative

iPlant Open Source

From the beginning, iPlant has had a commitment to release all code we produce with an open source software license. This is enshrined in our agreement with the National Science Foundation. This page lists code that we have produced and that is currently available. It also describes details of interest.

Repository for most of our code:
GitHub for iPlant Collaborative Open Source

Some of the linked code below is hosted elsewhere.

Released Code
