GMODWeb Needs Your Help!

2007/11/21

The GMODWeb component is currently in need of a champion and developer to support it. GMODWeb is a Perl tool that rides on top of Turnkey and generates a basic web site interface for a Chado database.

If you are interested please contact Scott Cain or Lincoln Stein.

November 2007 GMOD Meeting

2007/11/08

The November 2007 GMOD Meeting was attended by nearly 40 people from across the GMOD community. Community annotation and comparative genomics were two particularly hot topics at this meeting. See November 2007 GMOD Meeting for a list of presentations and a summary of the meeting.


Flybase Converts to Chado

2007/09/01

This summer, FlyBase finished its reimplementation to using Chado, the modular GMOD database schema which FlyBase originated and continues to develop in collaboration with GMOD and several GMOD-affiliated database projects. The FlyBase implementation of Chado integrates over 100 years of Drosophila genetic and genomic research data. In addition to supporting the ongoing genome annotation and scientific literature curation for D. melanogaster, the main Drosophilid model organism, FlyBase is currently working to incorporate the new genome sequences, annotations, and cross-species comparative data for eleven additional Drosophila species into the single production instance of Chado.

PostgreSQL dumps of FlyBase-chado are available at ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/psql/

ISMB/Bioinformatics Chado Paper

2007/07/13

The paper 'A Chado case study: an ontology-based modular schema for representing genome-associated biological information' by Chris Mungall, Dave Emmert, and The FlyBase Consortium, was presented at ISMB/ECCB 2007, and is now available in the journal Bioinformatics.

The paper describes the overall Chado philosophy and the 5 core Chado modules.
