<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am interested in using CHADO to host data for a number of model organisms. I've been looking through your documentation, attended the meeting after PAG and I still have a couple of questions:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. I will be hosting several organisms, eg human, rat, mouse, arabidopsis and so on. How do I maintain these as separate instances? Do I need to have several instances of CHADO running for each organism or does the database manage the data for each organism based upon the originating organism?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. I see that you have a number of annotation and browsing softwares. I am interested in serving data via a DAS server - do you have a recommended DAS server (preferably Perl) that has already been configured to run with CHADO?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Tank you for your time and reply</FONT>
