Welcome to Strain Collection Database (SCD)!


What is SCD?

Strain Collection Database(SCD) is designed to keep track of strain collection information in Frederick M. Ausubel lab. It provides web interface for registered and public users. Registered users are authorized to search and maintain the database. Public users have access to information on published strain records.

SCD Search

Both public users and registered can search SCD strain records. Registered users may have access to all strain records while public users can search published strain records.

There are three different search pages designed for different users:
Keyword search -- User types in word(s) or phrase(s) then clicks search button, all records have related keywords will be retrieved.
By Category -- If user knows exactly the Genus/Species/Subspecies of a strain, this might be the correct search page.
By Fields -- If keyword search returns too many records and user has some knowledge of the database table columns, he/she can use this page to search only the necessary table column(s)

SCD Data Maintenance:

Registered user with Submit/DataManager privilege(s) can submit new strain records, modify existing strain records and remove bad strain records.

SCD System Administration

Only user with system administrator's priviledge has access to this section. Authorized user can maintain user/group information.
