Genes4all

Contents

Overview

Genes4all is a visualization module for the Drupal CMS. It is species and data-type neutral and unlike most Drupal modules, it relies on dynamically generated content and does not store much information on the Drupal database (i.e. does not create nodes).It currently drives the InsectaCentral database, an insect transcriptome database with 1,578,321 gene models from 12,800,018 ESTs.

It is not yet fit for public consumption but Drupal developers can get a taste from http://drupal.org/project/gmod_dbsf and http://gmod-dbsf.googlecode.com.

Dependencies

Genes4all is written for Drupal 6 and it depends on the Drupal gmod_dbsf module (http://drupal.org/project/gmod_dbsf). It requires BioPerl.

Features

Genes4all is built with the notion that Chado is a read-only data warehouse where only administrators can edit it but web-users can retrieve data. The Drupal database offers a bidirectional interface with the users.

For the 2011-2012 season we are planning to go beyond transcriptome data and support genomes as well as ecological and geographical characters.
