Motivation: The volume and complexity of biological data increases rapidly. Many clinical professionals and biomedical researchers without a bioinformatics background are generating big '-omics' data, but do not always have the tools to manage, process or publicly share these data.

Results: Here we present MOLGENIS Research, an open-source web-application to collect, manage, analyze, visualize and share large and complex biomedical data sets, without the need for advanced bioinformatics skills.

Availability and implementation: MOLGENIS Research is freely available (open source software). It can be installed from source code (see http://github.com/molgenis), downloaded as a precompiled WAR file (for your own server), setup inside a Docker container (see http://molgenis.github.io), or requested as a Software-as-a-Service subscription. For a public demo instance and complete installation instructions see http://molgenis.org/research.
