                 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"
