| About Pymerase |
Why is it called 'Pymerase'?
Pymerase is the combination of 'Python', the primary
language Pymerase is written in, and
'Polymerase'. Polymerase, in short, is a molecule which
copies/converts DNA into RNA. We figured that Pymerase had
similar functionality in that it took table.dtd XML (DNA) files
and converted them into other things, such as SQL statements
(RNA) which is then used to create a database (Protein).
History:
Pymerase was originally designed and developed in the Caltech
Wold Lab. The original
purpose of pymerase was to generate a Python Database API for the
GeneX Microarray Gene
Expression Database. As development progressed Pymerase was made
more generic to support other projects including
Sigmoid and
MAGE.
