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
  • Common problems and troubleshooting
  • Spreadsheets for calculations

Include instructions that reference specific reagents (strains, primers, etc.) for performing positive and negative control reactions. This can be used to diagnose bad reagents or a 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 or protected information. Use the internal Barrick Lab web pages for that.

Tips for Editing the Wiki

Will add some specific tags to make formatting references and contributors easier...
