Feedback requested re: Genometrax flatfiles (Biowulf)

We are considering the purchase of the GenomeTrax flatfiles from
Biobase International for Biowulf users. Genome Trax contains unique,
manually-curated data from peer-reviewed literature, and enables
users to identify human genome variations of functional significance
by mapping your NGS data to known elements such as disease mutations
and regulatory sites.

If the GenomeTrax flatfiles were available on Biowulf, users would
be able to write a script or program that searches the GenomeTrax
data for functional variations for user-specified genomic coordinates.

Note that this purchase would _not_ include access to the Genometrax
web interface at the Biobase site.

You can see a sample of the GenomeTrax flatfiles on Biowulf in
/fdb/genome_trax_sample/

Given the high cost of GenomeTrax, we would like to estimate the
need and usage before coming to a decision. If you are interested in
using this product as part of your pipeline on Biowulf, please send
us email with a brief description of your expected usage.
