Hi,
Here is some information about the Genome Tracker
program for the Macintosh user. This database program is
designed to help you organize your inventory of seed stocks
and also helps manage transformation, mutagenesis, and
genetic experiments. The database keeps track of the
following information: Stock Number, Ecotype, Genotype,
Generation and Type (i.e. mutategenized, transgenic etc.),
Self-fertilized vs. Cross-Fertilized, Age, Storage Location,
References, Source, Parents, Single Plant Seed Stock vs.
Population, and Comments. Some of the functions provided
by the program, accessible through both desktop buttons and
menus, include: Find/Search, Sort, Find Parent, Draw Family
Tree, and Draw Progeny Tree. The program includes
customizable pop-up menus to facilitate rapid standardized
data entry by multiple users. We have provided a very useful
"Fill In" button which facilitates entering the parental
information. The Family Tree drawing feature can be used to
track the progress of multi-generational genetic cross
experiments. The Progeny Tree drawing feature identifies
all the progeny of an individual (or population) and can be
used to keep track of individuals derived from a mutagenesis,
transformation, or genetic experiment.
This relational database program is easy to use and
comes with an extensive Users Manual. In addition, we
provide online technical support via e-mail. The program is
available for $199.00. We accept purchase orders, checks,
and money orders. A demonstration version is not available
at this time. We offer a 30 day return policy. We plan on
having a version for the PC computer in the near future. If
you wish to order a copy please send the PO number to the
following address. You can also send the PO number to this
e-mail address for more rapid ordering, but we would
appreciate also receiving a paper copy.
