00001 <h3>Tripal External Database Administrative Tools Quick Links</h3> 00002 <ul> 00003 <li><?php print l('Add an external database for cross-refernces.', 'admin/tripal/tripal_db/add_db') ?></li> 00004 <li><?php print l('Update or delete an external database.', 'admin/tripal/tripal_db/edit_db') ?></li> 00005 </ul><br> 00006 00007 <h3>Module Description:</h3> 00008 <p>The Tripal DB Module provides the ability to add database cross reference to the 00009 data in your Tripal Website. Typically an external database (such as NCBI Genbank, Gene Ontology (GO), 00010 stocks database) contains a collection of objects (genomic sequences, vocabulary terms, stocks) that are 00011 uniquely identified using an accession number (or identifier). Data loaded into Tripal can be a 00012 associated with these objects in remote databases, and links can appear on pages allowing site visitors 00013 to view the associated objects on the remote database\'s website </p> 00014 00015 <h3>Setup Instructions:</h3> 00016 <ol> 00017 <li><p><b>Set Permissions</b>: By default only the site administrator account has access to 00018 or administer databases. Navigate to the <?php print l('permissions page', 'admin/user/permissions')?> and set the 00019 permissions under the 'tripal_db' section as appropriate for your site. For a simple setup, allow anonymous 00020 users access to view content and create a special role for creating, editing and other administrative tasks.</p></li> 00021 00022 <li><p><b>Adding or Editing an External Databases</b>. Many resources such as NCBI nr or ExPASy SwissProt (to name a few) 00023 come pre-loaded with Chado. However, you can add new entries or edit existing entries. Also, when loading 00024 ontologies (controlled vocabularies) using the Tripal CV module new databases are added automaticaly for 00025 each ontology. To enable linking of accession on a page to the page for that accession on the external 00026 database, simply add the URL and the URL prefix when adding or editing a database.</p></li> 00027 00028 <li><p><b>Associate Data with Accessions</b>. The Tripal loaders (e.g. GFF, OBO) can associate accessions from 00029 remote data to genomic features and controlled vocabularies automatically. Use the loaders to load genomic 00030 features and controlled vocabularies respectively. Additionally, the bulk loader can be used to create 00031 loading templates for associating external database accessions. 00032 </p></li> 00033 </ol> 00034
