View source for GMODWeb

==Description==

GMODWeb is a Web application that uses [[Chado]], a flexible and modular schema for representing biological data. GMODWeb is based on Turnkey, a generic Web framework built on [http://apache.org Apache], mod_perl, and [http://sqlfairy.sourceforge.net/ SQLFairy]. GMODWeb takes a basic Turnkey site built with the Chado schema and adds to the default templates to create a custom look and feel for GMOD. This GMODWeb ''skin'' includes code to display information using a variety of GMOD applications, including [[GBrowse]]. New model organism databases can use the GMODWeb skin as a starting point for creating a new organism website. See [http://radius.genomics.ctrl.ucla.edu/turnkey/pmwiki.php?n=Main.NewMod Making a New MOD] for more information about his process.

==Turnkey==

Turnkey takes a relational schema of a given database as input and transforms it into a fully-functional and customizable website within minutes. This automated process frees developers to work on the content of a website rather than the underlying architectural details. For more detailed information see the "About Turnkey" section of the [http://turnkey.sf.net/ Turnkey home page].
