FlyBase Chado

Introduction

This document covers the specifics of Chado and how it is used within FlyBase.

Public Chado Access

FlyBase provides public access to our Chado database via a couple of methods. One method is to download our PostgreSQL dumps from ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/psql/ and install that on a local PostgreSQL server. Alternatively, you can directly connect to our PostgreSQL server which runs our current release. Information about how to connect to this database is detailed in Public Chado Databases.

Field Mapping Tables

These field mapping tables map fields in the FlyBase data class reports (genes, alleles, insertions, etc...) to locations in Chado. They contain simple tables with the field name and the SQL required to find data for that field.
