---+ 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 (quantitative information, graphics, images)
   * Common problems and troubleshooting
   * Spreadsheets for calculations

Include instructions that reference specific reagents (strains, primers, etc.) for performing *positive* and *negative* control reactions. It is very important and can save a great deal of time if you run these reactions to diagnose bad reagents or a general 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, protected information, or copyrighted material. Use the [[InternalList][internal Barrick Lab web pages]] for that.

---++ How to Add Images

   1 Click the "attach" link at the bottom of your protocol page
   1 Choose your image file:
      * Avoid spaces in the file name. Use underscores instead.
      * Under "Properties" check the box called "Create a link to the attached file."
   1 After you click "Upload file" your image will appear at the bottom of the page after a bullet point.
   1 Now edit the page and move the =<img>= tag to where you want it displayed in the page.

---++ Tips for Editing the Wiki

   * Edit other protocol pages to see how to do things in Wiki syntax and make the formatting or your protocol consistent with others.
   * We will eventually add some specific tags to make formatting references and contributors easier...
