-The Biostar Engine is a [Python][python] and [Django][django] based data analysis oriented application server that can execute scripts over web while providing a graphical user interface for selecting the parameters of the scripts. The scripts the the software executes may written in `bash`, may be a `Makefile`, `R` commands, just about any executable command.
