This is a tutorial for the sol genomics network (sgn; http://sgn.cornell.edu/) community annotation database. It guides users step-by-step how to access the locus and phenotype database, search for genes and phenotypes, and annotate online using a simple, shared, web interface.
7. 3.1 Search for the locus. You can get editor privileges for any locus in the database.
8. 3.1 Search for the locus. You can get editor privileges for any locus in the database.
9. 3.1 Search for the locus. You can get editor privileges for any locus in the database.
10. 3.1 Search for the locus. You can Submit a new locus if you cannot find your gene in the database. You need an SGN submitter account for submitting new loci. If you do not have such account, contact SGN at [email_address] and we will grant you these privileges
11. 3.2 Edit the locus details – you must login and become the locus editor!
12. 3.2 Edit the locus details – click on 'log in' and type your SGN username and password No SGN account? Sign up for one.
13. Create an SGN account. You will receive a confirmation email shortly after. Now you can go back to the locus page.
14. 3.2 Edit the locus details – you must login and become the locus editor! Click here to request editing privileges
15. 3.2 Edit the locus details – when you are logged-in the 'edit' links will become active.
16. 3.2 Edit the locus details – Click 'edit' and a web-form will open. Store the details instantly in the database.
17. No! Only editors can edit the locus detail, but anyone can annotate any locus with publications, sequences, phenotypes, and more! A submitter account is required. contact [email_address] and we will grant you submit-privileges. You can contribute to the following locus features without being the official 'locus editor' : 4. Do I have to be a locus editor?
18. 4. This is how the locus page looks like when a submitter who is not the editor is logged-in. Notice the highlighted links
21. 4.2 Upload figures. Image files and PDFs are supported. You are the copyright owner, and can edit/delete your file.
22. 4.3 Associate accessions from the phenotype database with the locus. You may want to add a phenotype first (see 'submit phenotypes' section)
23. 4.4 Create gene networks by associating other loci and specifying relationship type
24. 4.5 Add new alleles and edit existing allele information
25. 4.5 Add new alleles and edit existing allele information. Each allele has an information page.
26. 4.6 SolCyc is a database of biochemical pathways ( http://solcyc.sgn.cornell.edu ) . Add a unigene to your locus, and the related SolCyc reaction will be imported (this feature is updated periodically by SGN staff)
27. 4.7 Associate an SGN-Unigene. A link back to the locus page will show on the unigene page ( http://sgn.cornell.edu/search/direct_search.pl?search=unigene )
40. You might also want to browse some of the ontologies SGN uses for annotating different datatypes (loci, phenotypes, QTLs, Unigenes)
41. Search ontology terms using SGN's ontology browser Search Select a term from the search results View the term in the ontology tree. Click it to see the detail page
42. Ontology term page shows its details and all annotations (including objects annotated with any child terms)
43. 4.11 Back to locus community annotation. You may add comments. No special 'submitter' privileges required. Create an SGN account, and start posting comments.
49. 5.2 You can contribute to any phenotyped accession after logging-in with your submitter account. Link to loci Literature annotation Ontology annotation Add comments
