Tripal is a web framework built on Drupal and Chado that allows researchers to easily build genomic data sharing and collaboration websites. It includes modules for organisms, stocks, phenotypes, genotypes, transcriptomes, genomes, and more. Tripal provides APIs that allow customization of the website's look and feel as well as development of new functionality through modules. Using Tripal requires knowledge of PHP, Chado, and Drupal/Tripal APIs, but provides an open source platform to encourage data sharing within research communities. Future goals include integrating additional data types and connecting to analysis resources.
