The LabKey Biologics registry can capture Vectors, Constructs, Cell Lines, Expression Systems, and their relationships. To add these entities to the registry, use the
creation wizard for the desired type.
Definitions
- Vectors are typically plasmids that can inject genetic material into cells. Must have a specific nucleotide sequence.
- Constructs are Vectors which have been modified to include the genetic material intended for injection into the cell.
- Cell Lines are types of cells that can be grown in the lab.
- Expression Systems are cell lines that have been injected with a construct.
Creation Forms
Select the desired entity from the main menu, or access the creation wizard for any entity from the page for any other entity. For example, when you are viewing the
Vectors grid, you can select
Create > Vector, or use
Create > Registry to expand the listing and select another entity type to create.
- Create > Vector
- Create > Registry > Construct
- Create > Registry > Cell Line
- Create > Registry > Expression System
The default fields for each entity type are shown below. General instructions for creating entities are in this topic:
