<h3>v2.0.0</h3>
<p>Release of 2.0.0 was a rewrite of a previously unpublished v1.0.0, and marked by the publication of a paper entitled "BitTorious: global controlled genomics data publication, research and archiving via BitTorrent extensions" in <a href="/facts/BMC_Bioinformatics/KLeGLdn6">BMC Bioinformatics</a> on October 7, 2014.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a>

<h2 id="academics">Academics</h2>
<p>The design of BitTorious was initially intended to be used by private groups of collaborators needing to frequently exchange large data payloads, as is common in <a href="/facts/Genomics/pVU3BGpL">genomics</a>, <a href="/facts/Proteomics/3aqQ1tFh">proteomics</a>, and other data-intensive fields. The software's generic design, however, allows for usage in any domain.
