Submit to FlyView Database

a) How to submit a picture

We offer a variety of possibilities to make your data available. You can send images as

digital images (sent by e-mail, ftp [flyview.uni-muenster.de, user: submit, password: flyview] or on diskette; JPEG-response preferred)

slides or film (these will be digitalized on a PhotoCD and sent back on demand)

paper prints (these will be digitalized by color scanning)

figures in reprints (these will be digitalized by color scanning)

microscopic slides (these will be digitalized by a color-video-camera on a microscope and sent back; please thoroughly mark specimen on the slide(s))



Note:

Every single picture must have an identity number which must be the same as in the text description (see following section "Your record id").

b) How to submit the text description

Text descriptions and other characteristics of the stock will be submitted with the
Add to FlyView form.

Explanations to some of the fields of the database:

"Your record id": This is one of the most important informations for us. We use identical identities for bringing together picture and text.

"E-mail for orders": FlyView will include only those enhancer-trap lines that are available for the community. If you plan to maintain the stock for a limited time, please include the appropriate date in the "Comments and remarks" field.

"Expression pattern": For searching in the FlyView database it is necessary to have descriptions of images as text which can be reduced to keywords of organs and cell types expressing the reporter gene product.

If the description of the line is already included in the FlyBase collection type the "FlyBase allele id number : FBalxxxxxxx" into the "Comments and remarks" field.

After klicking the "Add to FlyView" button go back a page in your browser, make appropriate changes and send again.

For submitting several images of the same line: after sending the first complete form, for the next one(s) you are asked to fill out at least the following fields: "Your record id", "Stock number", "Developmental stage", and "Expression pattern".
