Status: Historical Downstream; retained as an archive of meaningful local development. Documentation reconstructed from repository history on 8 October 2026.
Kaplan Lab developed the ConVarT scientific visualization resource. This fork records subsequent 9base-specific web/service work. Local development does not confer authorship of the ConVarT research, upstream implementation, underlying databases or collaborators' work.
The all-branch audit identified 33 unique GitHub-linked Zaryob commits ahead of the relevant upstream comparison baselines across master and zdev, with overlap between branches. The counts include merges and must not be added together as 45 independent contributions. The visible change sequence largely runs from December 2021 through April 2022; two reachable changes carry January/February 2021 dates. Those literal commit dates do not establish when the repository entered 9base.
Verified local changes include configurable paths (babce1f4), development Docker Compose setup (7462f9c3), SQL/search structure changes (7277cfe1), submission/result UI work and dbSNP/API corrections (fed1d0ad). These support Historical Downstream rather than a plain preserved-reference classification.
Süleyman Poyraz (Zaryob) is the verified local author identity used in the audit. One other ahead commit, 00427230, is by asayici; its author's organizational affiliation is unverified, so it is not assigned to 9base.

All branches remain part of the archive. See the existing development instructions and dependencies. They document a historical Docker/MySQL/phpMyAdmin setup; curation did not execute the stack or verify a live scientific service. The zdev schema includes convart_gene and convart_gene_to_db, also constructed by the companion R tooling.
| Repository | Role and attribution |
|---|---|
| ConVarT_Web | Kaplan Lab web/service project with historical 9base configuration, search and UI development. |
| ConVarT_pipeline | Kaplan Lab analysis pipeline, retained without verified 9base branch divergence. |
| ConvartDataGenerate | Original Süleyman Poyraz R scripts for FASTA/metadata preparation and SQL generation. |
The family links describe related roles; they do not establish deployment of every component or assign Kaplan Lab scientific authorship to 9base.
The existing README scientific overview and upstream notices are preserved. This reconstruction does not add a license, infer a transfer date, or claim ongoing maintenance.
