Well, actually none!  We work with plant genomes sequenced and  
annotated here (at JGI) as well as pulled from a variety of external  
sources (TIGR/MSU, Genoscope, Maizesequence.org, etc.), and their  
stored in our plant comparative database (not based on any of the  
standard open source schemas out there).

My motivation in getting pygr fetching from GBrowse and/or BioMart is  
that we already push from our db to these two systems, and want to  
develop UCSC table browser style capabilities without the UCSC back  
and frontends.  Since pygr provides overlap calculation (the heart of  
the table browser capability) perfomance comparable to (and even  
faster) than what UCSC enables via binning, we though if we  
"shadowed" our BioMart or GBrowse systems with some of pygr's  
database objects, we'd have the best of both worlds.

So that's why we're looking at pygr fetch from Gbrowse/GFF or BioMart.
