Description
Tripal is a web front end for Chado databases, based on the Drupal content management system. Tripal leverages many of the features of Drupal--ability to search and edit content, detail pages for different types of content, customizable page layouts, and so on--to provide users with an intuitive, flexible interface to a database.
Features and advantages of Tripal:
- Allows rapid development of an online genomic database.
- Site administrators can add non-biological content to their sites and allow editing of content by non-technical users.
- Integrates directly with GMOD Chado.
- Provides visualizations for Chado "modules" such as features, analyses, libraries, stocks, and others.
- Provides an interface for easy editing/updating of data in Chado.
- Provides full text and categorical search capabilities for Chado content.
- Can integrate GMOD tools such as CMap and GBrowse.
- Integrates with powerful Drupal features like Drupal views and panels
- Provides fully customizable PHP-based templates to allow users to change the look and feel of their installation
- Web-based management of Chado (i.e. installation of Chado v1.11 and loading of ontologies)
