[Gmod-help] Getting started GMOD

[Scooter Willis]

I wanted to see if I can get some initial feedback on the following questions as we are about to do a GMOD install for a newly sequenced genome.


1. Is it possible to download the VMWare instance that was built at the last GMOD meeting?

2. What are the tradeoffs on going with Chado or BioSQL for the database? I don't see the need for any customizations in our current project so want to keep it simple and be in the best position to use Gmod and other add on tools. We will be wanting to do some level of BLAST search integration and Comparative Genome with GBrowse_syn if that makes a difference for Chado or BioSQL.

3. In looking at the Installing Chado and Ubunto Howto page  it looks like postgre is mentioned. Our preference is mysql but could also do postgre. What is the recommendation and/or what are the developers/end users typically use?

4. Do I need a specific version of Ubunto 32bit or 64 bit?

Thanks

Scooter Willis
