To use this site, you must register with the consortium.   Registration is a one-time event, and requires that you give us your contact information and choose a password.   We will use this information to set up an account.   By default, your account is private and will record your request history and status information.   Some investigators, however, may wish to allow others to view their request list.   For example, one may wish to share data with ones supervisor or Principal Investigator.   When you set up your account, therefore, we will permit you to identify one other individual who will be given permission to access your personal request list.   If you are a supervisor or Principal Investigator, you will be able to access your personal request list, and the request information of those of your students, staff, and post-docs who have explicitly given you permission to do so.   Unless you explicitly choose to allow for it, however, no member of your staff will be permitted to view your personal request list.  

Once you have established an account with the consortium, you may enter requests as needed for your research.   Note that we will only respond to requests for targets that are recognized officially by the sequence curators at Wormbase as legitimate genes.   You should coordinate with the curators if your gene does not fall into this category.   Further, you should contact the curators if you have information showing that the structure of the gene is significantly different than what is reported.
