- .. note::
- While you can use Tripal out-of-the-box for a whole genome or transcriptome based website, You will need a good understanding of Chado_ to expand into other data types and to take full advantage of Tripal
- The primary data store for Tripal is Chado_. Chado_ is an open-source database schema managed by GMOD_. Chado was selected for Tripal because it is open-source, it is maintained by the community in which anyone can provide input, and use of Chado_ encourages common data storage between online biological sites which decreases duplication of effort.
- Chado_ is meant to be installed into a PostgreSQL database and is designed to house a variety of biological data. For example, Tripal comes with a variety of content types. However, if you want to create new content types you must know how that data will be stored in Chado_. Additionally, use of the Bulk Loader (a tab-delimited data loader for custom data formats) requires a good understanding of Chado_. Finally, creating extensions to Tripal requires an understanding of Chado_ to write SQL and or new Tripal fields. The following links provide training for Chado_.
