- Is it accessible from outside the firewall to public users?
- YES (ADOMETA)
- What is the primary purpose of the database & types of data stored?
- ADOMETA is a bioinformatics resource designed to predict genes for orphan metabolic activities, which are known biochemical activities not currently assigned to genes in some or all organisms
- ADOMETA returns a ranked list of genes likely to catalyze a given metabolic activity in a selected organism
- ADOMETA currently provides computationally generated predictions of genes for orphan activities in the model bacteria Escherichia coli, B. subtilis, and bakers yeast S. cerevisiae
- Are there any issues or problems with the database?
- Specific error messages popping up?
- Problems connecting from the application or web interface?
- Performance issues (queries are slow, freezes at times, etc)
- - no
- Would they like help in administering the database?
- - not at the moment
- What additional features or changes would users like to see?
- new tables or queries
- additional screens on application or web interface
- migrate to different database platform (i.e. MySQL to Oracle)
- need to include many more organisms
