Evidence Collection: Overview

The curation interface provides spaces for entering information in the following formats:

  • Dropdown menus: select the appropriate option; subsequent options in the curation interface may change depending on the choice

  • Spaces for controlled vocabularies (e.g. approved gene names, ontology terms): consult the appropriate ontology; a link-out is provided

  • Free text fields

For a subset of fields, entry of data or information is required; these fields are marked by an asterisk. If you attempt to save your work, but a required field has not been filled, an error notice will appear next to the Cancel/Save buttons, and any fields that require curation will be outlined in red.

Genetic and experimental evidence is collected from individual publications. The basic workflow for evidence collection is outlined here:

The Evidence panel on the right is the starting point for adding evidence for a selected article. To begin curation, click the ‘+’ sign next to the specific type of evidence you would like to curate.
