Genome projects and multiomics experiments generate huge volumes of data that must be stored, mined, and transformed into useful knowledge. All this information is supposed to be accessible and, if possible, browsable afterwards. Computational biologists have been dealing with this scenario for more than a decade and have been implementing software and databases to meet this challenge. The GMOD's (Generic Model Organism Database) biological relational database schema, known as Chado, is one of the few successful open source initiatives; it is widely adopted and many software packages are able to connect to it.

Machado：开源基因组学数据集成框架。


基因组项目和多组学实验产生大量数据，必须存储、挖掘这些数据并将其转化为有用的知识。所有这些信息都应该是可以访问的，如果可能的话，之后可以浏览。计算生物学家十多年来一直在处理这种情况，并一直在实施软件和数据库来应对这一挑战。 GMOD（通用模型生物数据库）生物关系数据库模式，称为 Chado，是为数不多的成功的开源项目之一；它被广泛采用，许多软件包都可以连接到它。
