Template:ChadoTable assay

This template is a Chado Table Template. It defines a single table from the Chado schema, and every Chado table has a template like this one. This template is automatically included in two places:

1. The module page for the module the table is a part of. This is where updates and comments should be posted.
2. The Chado Tables page, which lists all tables.

You can include this template anywhere you want to show the table description.
