What is BioSQL?
Interoperable persistence layer for Bio* supporting
• BioPerl
• Biojava
• Biopython
• BioRuby

What is BioSQL?
Generic & extensible relational model
• sequences
• features
• sequence and feature annotation
• a reference taxonomy
• ontologies, controlled vocabularies
• phylogenetic trees or networks

A Brief History
• Ewan Birney started BioSQL and Bioperl-db in Nov 2001
• Major redesigns and refactorings at several BioHackathons in 2002-2003
• PhyloDB module added at 2006 Phyloinformatics Hackathon
• Reinvigorated at 2008 BioHackathon
• v1.0 released in March 2008

Use Cases
1) Local ‘GenBank’ with random access
2) ‘GenBank’ in relational format
3) Interoperable Bio* persistence
4) My lab sequence database
5) Integrate sequence & annotation databases

Bioperl-db
• Step 1: connect, get adaptor factory
use Bio::DB::BioDB;# create the database-specific adaptor factory# (implements Bio::DB::DBAdaptorI)$db = Bio::DB::BioDB->new(-database =>”biosql”, # user, pwd, driver, host … -dbcontext => $dbc);
![Page 16: BioSQL Reloaded: v1.0 Release, PhyloDB Module, and Future Features](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5578f659d8b42a675b8b4764/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bioperl-db• Step 2: e.g., retrieve sequence, add
annotation, update in the dbuse Bio::Seq; use Bio::SeqFeature::Generic;# retrieve the sequence object somehow …$adp = $db->get_object_adaptor(“Bio::SeqI”);$dbseq = $adp->find_by_unique_key( Bio::Seq->new(-accession_number => “NM_000149”, -namespace => “RefSeq”));# create a feature as new annotation$feat = Bio::SeqFeature::Generic->new( -primary_tag => “TFBS”, -source_tag => “My Lab”, -start=>23,-end=>27,-strand=>-1);# add new annotation to the sequence$dbseq->add_SeqFeature($feat);# update in the database$dbseq->store();

•Mostly used as a module with custom extensions
•Squares away sequence annotation and ontologies

Summary
• BioSQL has benefitted tremendously from hackathons.
• v1.0 Release allows to chart the way forward.
• PhyloDB module allows cross-project persistence of phylogenetic data.
• Use-cases range from simple to very complex.
