CoGe Database

CoGe's genomes database schema. This database can store multiple genomes from multiple organisms. The data is partitioned into three major section: Genome sequence information (yellow), genomic feature information (blue), and dataset information (green).

At the core of CoGe is a relational database that stores any version of any genome from any organism in any state of assembly and annotation. This multi-genome database is a departure from many existing genome databases as it stores all these data in the same database. Overall, the schema for this database is rather simple, and this greatly aids in the database's ability to scale for many thousands of genomes while providing a database API that is straight-forward.
