First draft of a database schema
[edit]- Controlled vocabularies
- Ontologies

Consultation with PIs and lab members on data descriptions

What needs to be done in order to create a good database
[edit]- Define what data will be contained in the database
- e.g. sub-sequences (introns and extrons), external files (e.g. images, etc), external webpages, etc.
- Define how the data will be related within the database
- e.g. exons will contain CDS data
- Define what constraints there will be on the data in the database
- e.g. each GI number for a sequence is unique
