  • Quick Items

  • Tripal v3 and REST API

        • Full support for Chado

        • Working on Neo4j support (via another project)

        • API for integration of other back-ends coming in the futureā€¦.

      • Fully Backwards Compatible.

      • Ontology Driven

        • Integrates with semantic web for data exchange via web services

      • Full support of Drupal Entities

      • Style agnostic

        • Considering no default sidebar.

      • Exposed data is consistent between pages, web services (and other future methods i.e. downloads).
