I can't comment on that part as I don't know about those modules.

The vanilla version of biosql doesn't store expression data.

(Some of) the Bio::DB::BioSQL PODs (e.g., BasePersistentAdaptor) you 
will want to read if you want to become more sophisticated on how to 
query the database using the bioperl object model instead of SQL. If 
you want to understand more of the schema then you should check out 
what's in the doc directory in the biosql-schema repository, 
specifically the ERD and the schema-overview.txt document.
