How to Create Image Records for GrainGenes
In order for a set of images to be loaded into GrainGenes, it must be
accompanied by a file of Image records, consisting at minimum of a name for
the image record and the name of the gif file, in this syntax:
Image : ""
Pick_me_to_call display
For example,
Image : "BCD129 SO autoradiogram"
Pick_me_to_call display SO_BCD129.gif
Image : "BCD130 SO autoradiogram"
Pick_me_to_call display SO_BCD130.gif
...
However it is possible and desirable to have a lot more information in
each record. For an image of an autoradiogram for example, one could
include the name of the probe, the name(s) of the locus(loci) mapped, a
list of the germplasm accessions examined, a descriptive Caption, and maybe
the name of the author and/or a reference. Example:
Image : "BCD130 SO autoradiogram"
Locus Xbcd130-4A
Probe BCD130
Polymorphism "BCD130 EcoRV"
Germplasm "Altar84/Ae. squarrosa (219) CIGM86.940"
Germplasm "OPATA M 85"
Caption "Blot of probe BCD130 for the wheat Altar84 Synthetic x Opata M 85 map.
W7984 = synthetic Altar84/Ae. squarrosa (219) CIGM86.940."
Author "Sorrells ME"

FIELDS AVAILABLE
Here is the list of fields available as of this writing. Let us know if
you would like to add something else. The current list at any time will be
in this menu under "Current GrainGenes models.wrm file".
LABEL VALUE DESCRIPTION
Gene Name of a Gene
Locus Name of a Locus
Pathology Name of a Pathology
Probe Name of a Probe
Polymorphism Name of a Polymorphism
QTL Name of a QTL For an image of a particular QTL, e.g.
an autoradiogram of bulked segregant
analysis of the linked marker.
See also Trait_study.
Germplasm Name of a Germplasm
Species Name of a Species
Map Name of a Map_Data E.g. Postscript versions of the maps.
Colleague Name of a Colleague For photos of people. See also Author.
Trait_study Name of a Trait_Study
Caption Text Description. Can be wordy.
Author Name of an Author Photographer, artist, source etc.
Reference Name of a Reference
Pick_me_to_call Text Text Program name followed by file name.
All "Name-of-a" values must be the exact name of a GrainGenes record of
the indicated type. If the record doesn't already exist it will be
created.
