Data entry includes a collection of screens used digitize, standardize, and reuse published data.

Research papers are found online using Highwire (Stanford) and PubMed (NLM). By storing the citations in a WordPad file, they can be copied and pasted into the fields of the data entry forms.

Filling out the methods form consists largely of selecting items from drop down lists.

Entering control data follows a two-step procedure. A structural hierarchy is assembled (left side of the screen) and then numerical data are mapped to it (right side). A programmable keypad speeds data entry. The relational database model can be found in an earlier report (2001).

Experimental data entry duplicates the procedure described for control data. It also maps each experimental data point to its control.

Biology controls the types, amounts, and proportions of its parts. This screen generates proportions from amounts (center screen) by forming all possible data pairs (top and bottom screens).

This screen duplicates for experimentals the procedure used for controls.

This screen uses the data pair data to detect changes in proportions (ratios), by comparing experimentals to controls. Fields highlighted in yellow (%RC-S) identify changes at the 15% level.

This screen uses the data pair data to detect changes in proportions (ratios), by comparing adjacent data points. Fields highlighted in yellow (%RC-S) identify changes at the 15% level.

In biology, a phenotype is defined by the types, locations, amounts, and proportions of its parts. The biological blueprint summarizes these items across animals and settings.
