What is BioPostgres?
BioPostgres is a collection of modules that extend PostgreSQL for Computational Biology. It is being developed at UCLA's CCB (Center for Computational Biology), one of the National Centers for Biomedical Computing funded by NIH.
For BOSC 2006:
Each of the BioPostgres modules is independent, and can be used separately or in conjunction with the others. Current modules:
Biosequence database extensions 
GeneOntology (GO) extensions 
Graph database extensions 
Data derivation dependency extensions 
Model base / data mining extensions
Each extension implements new datatypes with query operators and other tools, providing powerful large-scale query and analysis, quick inclusion of new types of biological information, and integration of diverse existing bioscience data.
