Tripal is a Chado database web front end based on a collection of Drupal modules. Tripal is under development at several institutions, including The Main Bioinformatics Laboratory at Washington Statue University, the University of Saskatchewan and the Clemson University Genomics Institute (CUGI). Tripal initially is currently used in several production genome database websites.
The official website for Tripal can be found at http://tripal.sourceforge.net/. Here you can find software downloads, documentation, support and links to all things Tripal.
