CCDB
The Chromatin Consortium Database, or CCDB, was developed as information management system for our project. Despite being developed specifically for the Chromatin Consortium, it serves as a model by which to model any system that must track genetic crosses, the progeny, and their phenotypes; it is especially applicable to projects involving field crop species such as maize. Its source code is available under the MIT license upon request.
Cornweb
Cornweb is an umbrella project for four separate libraries, each dedicated to a different part of Web development:
- Depot: Basic WSGI application framework, built to handle the routing of URLs and dispatch of requests
- Backfire: High-level wrapper atop Depot for building sophisticated Web applications. It includes facilities for Genshi and SQLAlchemy, as well as the encapsulation of common application behaviors, such as pagination and form processing.
- Formosa: Package for processing user input to Web applications. Unlike most other form processing packages, Formosa allows for declarative, higher-level constraints on user input.
- Facade: Library for the generation of interface markup using Genshi. Facade helps to automate the most repetitive parts of HTML user interfaces, namely forms and pagination.
Cornweb is hosted on Google Code; please see its project page for additional details.
