We have just released a new project to sourceforge focused on OLAP tools for
biology data.

What is BIOLAP?
OLAP is a powerful tool that is widely used by the business community to
analyze large financial data sets. Despite the big data sets found in modern
biology, OLAP has not been widely adopted by the biology community. We want
to change that. BIOLAP is open source OLAP for biology data. We take the
open source tools provided by the JPivot project, and extend them to handle
biology data types. In our first release, we focus on extensions to analyze
large genomic sequence databases. As an application we apply these tools to
browse and analyze the iProClass database of over over 2m protein sequences.
