Biological databases and schemata

These are open source schemata. To get the latest, please visit the their respective cvs repositories.

• GMOD's chado database schema
• runs on postgres database system
• BioSQL
• available for both mySQL and postgres

Note that these schemata lean heavily on perl and bioperl modules.

Am happy if you can join me in creating table/object relation mapping for chado using rails' active record. My goal is to have features or entities in chado map to bioruby objects/classes, currently am developing that for the features table.
