Distributed Annotation System
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) is an open source project that is used in bioinformatics to share and collate genomic annotation information.[1][2][3] It originated as the work of Robin Dowell, Rodney Jokerst, Allen Day, Sean Eddy and Lincoln Stein,[1] but it has since evolved into a community driven project with its main hub BioDAS. The current stable version of DAS is 2.0, which is also written as "DAS/2", whereas the older but still commonly used version 1.6 is abbreviated as "DAS/1". The latter DAS/2 specification is not compatible with DAS/1.[4]
