The DAS/2 Protocol


About DAS/2

DAS/2 is a more flexible and powerful version of the original DAS/1. The DAS/2 code base consists of:

  1. The DAS/2 specification
  2. A publically accessible DAS/2 server implementation (open source code available from the GMOD project)
  3. An open-source DAS/2 client implementation
  4. An open-source client library and server validation suite


DAS/2 History

DAS/2 evolved from the DAS/1 version through a community-driven process, informed by a variety of RFCs (Requests for Comment) received from the user community. DAS/2 development officially commenced in July 2004 when a 2-year NIH grant was funded. Participating in the DAS/2 grant are Affymetrix, Cold Spring Harbor Lab, the European Bioinformatics Institute/Sanger Center, and Dalke Scientific.
