[DAS] Genotype MyDAS adapter

[Jonathan Warren]

Thanks Manuel, that's exactly the sort of reply we are hoping for.  
It's great if people want to publicise what they are doing on the list.

In addition I should add that if people wish to distribute 23AndMe  
data via DAS I have developed a very simple MyDAS adapter for this  
purpose that comes with the current myDAS download (http://code.google.com/p/mydas/ 
).
Comprehensive instructions for setting up the database and uploading  
the data file can be found here: http://biodasman.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/how-to-create-a-genotype-database-for-use-as-a-das-source/
The configuration for connecting to this database is also in MyDAS and  
the blog.

Obviously this isn't an automatic set-up via a pretty interface, but  
it's relatively simple for anyone with a degree of technical ability  
to do in the mean time.
