Methods & Standards

Legume Federation projects are using a variety of open-source technologies. Not every partner site uses all of the technologies below.

• Data templates
• The LegumeInfo and PeanutBase projects are using the following data templates for collecting genetic and QTL data:
• Download the Excel spreadsheet template
• Download an example spreadsheet
• This is currently a topic of very active discussion, as the members of the federation hash out details to accommodate complex genetic data. Please contact us to get involved, or if you would like to submit data for any legume species using the forms above.
• Data Store. The Legume Federation maintains data at a central repository for public and private data: genomes, annotations, transcriptomes, etc. This repository is currently (2017) mirrored at two locations:
• LegumeInfo - data
• LegumeInfo - metadata templates and protocols (for contributing)
• CyVerse - data
• iCommands intro (for interacting with the CyVerse Data Store via command line)
• Code and scripts
• See the GitHub repository.
