'''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  It's very out of date.'''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 [[attachment: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 [[attachment:Tissue Submission Sheet]] to record samples in the format Jake needs to add them to the tissue table

   * Print off and use the [[attachment:Sample Shipment Sheet|Sample Shipment Form|&do=get]] 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 [[attachment: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
