Diff for "GeneticTableForms"

Don't use this anymore. It's very out of date.

• To add new lines to any genetics-related tables, fill your data into the appropriate form below, and email it to Jake Gordon
  • For nucleic acid samples (DNA or RNA) to be added to the DNA table

    • Use the DNA Submission Sheet

    • After Jake receives it, he'll return a copy of the form to you with a DNA ID number, or "DID", assigned to each sample in your form.
  • For tissue samples to be added to the tissue table

    • Use the Tissue Submission Sheet to record samples in the format Jake needs to add them to the tissue table

    • Print off and use the Sample Shipment Form to handwrite information about newly-received samples. Uses for this sheet are pretty situational; you'll know what to do with it if you were referred here by someone or something else

      • This form is supposed to fill two sides of one page of paper, and was created in MS Excel for Mac. Non-Mac users may need to adjust some column widths to fit this sheet onto a single page.
  • For quantifications (e.g. Nanodrop, qPCR) to be added to the nucleicacidquant view

    • Use the Quantification Submission Sheet

    • You need only state the concentration in pg_ul OR ng_ul, not both. Please use the unit output by your quantification; the view will do the necessary unit conversions.
    • It's important for the function of some other views that "method" begin with "NANO" if the quantification was done by Nanodrop, or "QPCR" if it was a qPCR. Failure to adhere to this may prevent your quantification from being seen in some other views
      • If recording a qPCR, it's helpful to include information about the qPCR machine used (see example on the submission sheet)
• Conventions/tips for filling out the forms:
  • Type text in all caps for any text columns
  • For any columns where the appropriate information is unknown, leave blank or type \N to indicate "NULL" (don't type "NULL")
  • Please delete the example lines before sending your sheet to Jake
  • If you're not sure what information a particular column is supposed to show, don't hesitate to ask Jake
