---+ How to Create a Protocol ---++ Tips for Design You should generally organize a protocol to have sections that are relevant from this list: * Supplies (materials, strains, primers) * Step-by-step instructions for each step * Expected results (quantitative information, graphics, images) * Common problems and troubleshooting * Spreadsheets for calculations Include instructions that reference specific reagents (strains, primers, etc.) for performing *positive* and *negative* control reactions. It is very important and can save a great deal of time if you run these reactions to diagnose bad reagents or a general problem with carrying out the protocol versus a problem with applying it in a specific case. These protocols are public, so don't post passwords, protected information, or copyrighted material. Use the [[InternalList][internal Barrick Lab web pages]] for that. ---++ How to Add Images 1 Click the "attach" link at the bottom of your protocol page 1 Choose your image file: * Avoid spaces in the file name. Use underscores instead. * Under "Properties" check the box called "Create a link to the attached file." 1 After you click "Upload file" your image will appear at the bottom of the page after a bullet point. 1 Now edit the page and move the =<img>= tag to where you want it displayed in the page. ---++ Tips for Editing the Wiki * Edit other protocol pages to see how to do things in Wiki syntax and make the formatting or your protocol consistent with others. * We will eventually add some specific tags to make formatting references and contributors easier...
