Description
GMODWeb is a Turnkey-based web application that uses the Chado schema. Turnkey is a generic web framework built on Apache, mod_perl, and SQLFairy. It takes as input the schema of a given database and transforms it into a fully-functional and customizable website within minutes. This automated process frees developers to work on the content of a website rather than the underlying architectural details. For more detailed information see the "About Turnkey" section of the Turnkey home page.
The GMOD Chado schema is a flexible and modular schema for representing biological data, specifically genome annotations targeted at model organisms. GMODWeb takes a basic Turnkey site built with the Chado schema and adds to the default templates to create a custom look and feel for GMOD. This GMODWeb "skin" includes code to display information using a variety of GMOD applications including GBrowse.
New model organism databases can use the GMODWeb skin as a starting point for creating a new organism website. See Making a New MOD for more information about his process.
For site administrators installing GMODWeb we recommend using the http://biopackages.net RPM packages or CVS repository located at http://sf.net/projects/turnkey.
