Data Curators: Your Starting Point
The Animal QTLdb is open to the public for new data entry and existing data
updates. One needs to register for a curator account in order to contribute.
Being a curator, you will be able to
- have access to editing your own data
- keep your data private or release to the public
- take advantage of the QTLdb tool to examine your data against other
public data in a private mode
- while keeping your data in private mode but you can grant a privileged
access to your data, which may be useful in the process of your manuscript
review
The curator's job is relatively straight forward. The curator tools are designed
to be intuitively easy to follow. We provide a
Curator Manual as a step by step guide for what's involved in the curation process.
