Peregrine released as open source

29 Nov 2011

"Peregrine", a blazingly fast software package used to recognize interesting multi-word terms in human text, has recently been released as open source.

Peregrine was originally developed by Martijn Schuemie at the department of Medical Informatics of the Erasmus University Medical Center (EMC) in Rotterdam. The package was the first project in 2009 to be taken up by NBIC's BioAssist Engineering team, who have been preparing the open source release together with the EMC by making the program easy to use, and the code more easy to extend and maintain.

Peregrine can now be found at https://trac.nbic.nl/data-mining/ and downloaded under an AGPL license; the members of the BioAssist Engineering Team will be following the associated mailing lists in order to provide first-line support for users.
