Tripal is a collection of open-source freely available Drupal modules under development at CUGI. These modules serve as a web interface for the GMOD Chado database. Tripal intially started as a web front-end for the Marine Genomics Project (MG.org). Work on the interface is currently ongoing for the MG.org project as well as the Fagaceae Genomics Web, and other CUGI projects.

Helper Scripts

  • split_blastxml-0.1.2.pl
  • The Blast Analysis module requires that blast results intended for assistance in manual curation of features be formated in XML and then divided into a specific directory structure before it can be displayed properly. This script parses and generates the necessary directory structure.

  • ace2gff3-1.0.1.pl
  • The Unigene Analysis module uses a specific set of cvterms and a specific relationship between features in the featureloc table. This script reads in a .ace file from an assembler such as CAP3 and generates a GFF file. Only .ace files supported by BioPerl can be used.
