The suite of software tools collectively known as Rosetta is defined not only by what it does, but also by a community of scientists who are changing how collaborations thrive and move science forward.
To answer the most complex questions in science — the nature of life, the origins of the universe — scientists often develop their own software programs to help solve their labs’ most novel and pressing problems. This type of software is ad hoc in nature, often growing organically in bits and pieces, written in different computing languages to solve an instant need, by researchers with little thought of broadening the software into something that all labs can use.
