I've had a bit of a hand in BioSQL's development and wrote the BioJava
interfaces to it. The 1.0 release is a formalisation of what has existed
for quite some time now.

There's no reason why you can't martify a BioSQL database - MartBuilder
can martify anything really as long as you point it at the right schema!
I'd suggest the 'gene' table as a good starting point.

cheers,
Richard
