  Discussions about using the ACEDB software.

  A plave for discussions by users and developers of genome databases 
  using the ACEDB software.
  
  This group includes discussions ranging from construction of new
  databases using the ACEDB software, curation of genetic and physical
  map information into Ace format, to questions about the use of any of
  the species specific databases utilizing the ACEDB software.
  
  As part of the C. elegans genome effort Jean Thierry-Mieg and Richard
  Durbin developed a generalized software solution for genome databases.
  ACEDB is the name of the software used for the organization,
  presentation and storage of genome information. It is also the name of
  the first database to use this software, the the C. elegans genome
  database. ACEDB includes an X-windows user interface and an
  object-like database engine developed specifically for storage of
  biological information.
  
  Many groups have begun using ACEDB to create a variety of genome
  databases. As of April 1993 three of these groups have released their
  databases to the general public and many others are well along in
  their development. The number of groups utilizing the ACEDB software
  to organize, manipulate and disseminate genome information is
  increasing. An informal community of ACEDB developers has formed to
  share knowledge and resources. This group allows the community of
  developers and users to continue sharing and growing. The archives of
  the group also provide a useful resource to both developers and users.
