Documentation and Data-Quality incentive
As a part of our initiative for improved data quality and documentation I have started to write a series of documents as guidelines for how to annotate experiments and how to use LiceBase for various tasks. The first outcome of this is the RNAi-checklist. Following the checklist should help you to make better annotations for your experiments. This incentive should help every user of LiceBase to be able to extract essential information for data-mining and reproduction of annotated experiments, and should allow to draw the a better connection between gene knock-down and phenotypes. Everyone working with RNAi is invited to read and comment on this check-list and propose changes. In addition, we have improved and rewritten parts of the documentation embedded into the RNAi submission form.
Updates and Improvements
We have recently added and restructured links as shortcuts to frequently used functions.
- Primary and secondary links have been added as short cuts to the page header:
- Recent posts: lists all recent updates to the site's pages
- New Feature: allows to add a new gene, transcript, etc. as a preliminary annotation
- New Genome Annotation Erratum: allows to report potential errors in the annotation
- RNAi experiments can now be searched by Target ID using an auto-complete filter here:
- All feature pages (genes, transcripts, etc.) have received several new direct links in their Resource box:
- Run BLAST search allows to open a blast search for this sequence directly, without copy-paste
- Show in GBrowse allows to open this feature directly in the genome browser
- Show in Ensembl opens the annotation of the gene in Ensembl genome browser. This gives access to additional resources, like the Ensembl Compara trees.
- All feature pages (genes, transcripts, etc.) have received several new direct links in their Resource box:
