xGDB: open-source computational infrastructure for the integrated evaluation and analysis of genome features

Genome Biol. 2006;7(11):R111. doi: 10.1186/gb-2006-7-11-r111.

Abstract

The eXtensible Genome Data Broker (xGDB) provides a software infrastructure consisting of integrated tools for the storage, display, and analysis of genome features in their genomic context. Common features include gene structure annotations, spliced alignments, mapping of repetitive sequence, and microarray probes, but the software supports inclusion of any property that can be associated with a genomic location. The xGDB distribution and user support utilities are available online at the xGDB project website, http://xgdb.sourceforge.net/.
