Best Practices

  • Use semicolons (;) to separate multiple values in List fields.

  • Capitalize scientific names (e.g. Oryza sativa, Homo sapiens).

  • Strain/cultivar details should be entered under Conditions / Phenotypes.

  • Both phenotypic (Age, Gender) and experimental measurements (pH, Temperature) go in Medical & Phenotypic Data. Remove all identifiable patient data before submission.
