StemNode User Manual

Getting Started Editing

Setting up an Account - Editing requires a user account and login. Use your real first name and surname(s), including spaces, as your username. This ensures that when you edit a review, your name shows up correctly. For example use "John Doe" instead of "johndoe" because you want your name to show up as "John Doe" in the list of authors of a manual.

Editing: Please use the predefined Outline for a Method when making a new method. Copy and paste the source code from the appropriate outline to start;
Mediawiki help pages are available for navigating software features. Most users will prefer to use the visual editor which is similar to using a word processor, however basic formatting code is helpful for advanced users. This manual covers specifically how the mediawiki software is used for stemnode.

Guidelines for Writing Methods

More detail is better. Many sources give methods in brief but this may lead to problems and confusion. We encourage writing methods in procedural form (SOPs) to with detailed steps. It is OK if these steps may not be repeated identically in all labs; the detail will help others adapt methods and save them time.

Equipment can be referenced in general (specific models omitted). Including brands of consumables may be helpful to others to ensure they work with materials that are compatible with reagents.
