[ensembl-dev] Installing local copy of emsembl

[Andy Yates]

Hi Andrea,

Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry uses a set of regular expressions in conjunction with the current API release to find the databases it should load from a MySQL server. It is possible to use a custom name but then you would be responsible for creating the DBAdaptor instance not Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry.

Regards,

Andy

Do i call them, for example, bos_taurus_core_59_4h, which is the name of the latest release of the core database? Otherwise I dont know how the Perl API will know the name of the database to connect to. Perhaps I missed this is the readme but I couldn't find it. Perhaps its too obvious to specify!
