Getting the Latest & Greatest Version by CVS
There are many new features in the current development version which have not been released yet. To get the latest version, please use anonymous CVS. The recommended branch to use is "gbrowse-sessions" which is more stable than HEAD. Here is the recipe:
% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmod login CVS password: <hit return> % cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmod co -r gbrowse-session Generic-Genome-Browser
Once you have successfully checked out the Generic-Genome-Browser distribution, you can simply perform a "cvs update" inside the directory to get recent changes.
You can also browse the GBrowse CVS here.
Installation

About the Database
GBrowse has a flexible adaptor system for running off various types of database. Standard adaptors include:
- Flat file adaptors (in-memory, indexed) -- put your annotations in a directory and go!
- Relational database adaptors -- Chado, Bio::DB::GFF, BioSQL
- Network adaptors -- read annotations from GenBank, UCSC or Ensembl
