Submission of information or mutants for publication in the database
For all mutants a ‘comment-box’ is available, where it is possible to submit additional information, corrections and comments as well as suggestions for improving the description of the mutants. Information on new mutants to be published in the database can be submitted either in excel format or uploaded directly onto the database (please contact Dr. Chris J. Janse for more information on how to submit/upload this information).
