  Description     : Object-oriented genome database system

ACeDB (originally standing for "A C. elegans Database") is an unusual
database system originally designed for the sequencing of the genome of
the nematode worm, C. elegans.  It is still in production use for the
annotation of genome sequence data.  It can be used for other kinds of
data too, especially if those data lend themselves to a tree-based
representation.  For example, ACeDB has been used for storing chip-test
data.

There are X Window System and command line interfaces to the database,
and various supporting applications used for more detailed inspection of
certain types of genomic data.
