CABRI Guidelines for Catalogue Production
Guidelines prepared for CABRI by BCCM, CBS, CERDIC, DSMZ, ECACC, HGMP, INRC, MSDN
Page layout by CERDIC
| Data input & authentication | Flat file preparation | Flat file submission |
Plasmids format and reference list: Agreed list for Selectable phenotype for plasmids
This field should contain the complete "input value" (see left column).
Additional information (e.g. antibioticum concentration) should be entered behind the input value, separated by a space.
To be indexed by CABRI, and as such searchable: each single term of the input value
The thesaurus file containing the thesaurus values must be implemented in the same way as the synonym file for the "Name" field in e.g. the bacteria catalogues.
