Local DB support for SBGN maps in Newt

<p>Newt is a web-based tool to analyze biological maps in standard formats such as PD and AF languages of SBGN, SBML, and SIF.</p> <p>This project aims to provide database support for Newt. SGBN maps stored on the database using Newt must be stored in an integrated manner ( i.e. fit like a puzzle with the existing database ).</p> <p>Furthermore, Newt must also provide the functionality to query the database for maps of interest, based on genes of interest using algorithms such as shortest path between entities, k-neighborhood, upstream/downstream of an entity, etc.</p>
