I am looking for a few good review articles on object-oriented database
management software.  I am particularly interested in learning about working
oodbms systems (as opposed to prototype or planned), availability, performance,
and ease of extensibility.  With the current interest in applying database
systems to biological domains (e.g. strain databases, sequence databases,
etc...), I am interested in studying how object-oriented approaches can be
applied to the biological sciences.  If anyone could point me to some good
information sources, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
