36 <h5>Software requirements</h5>
38 <p>The SGN website is designed to work with most common browsers. No additional software is required. The SGN webpages use the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/">XHTML 1.0</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/">Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)</a> standards from the <a href="http://www.w3.org">W3</a> consortium. Certain documents can be downloaded in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format">PDF format</a>.
41 We test the pages in Firefox 2.0, Safari 2.0 and Microsoft Explorer 7. Please note that Netscape 4.x browsers are explicitly not supported due to a lack of style sheet support. We recommend the latest version of Firefox, which is available free of charge for all common platforms from the Mozilla project (<a href="http://www.mozilla.org">http://www.mozilla.org</a>).

63 <h5>Submitting information to SGN:</h5>
66 SGN has community annotation tools are available for locus, allele, insitu experiments and images. <br />
67 The related information can be added, updated and deleted by registered SGN users that have specially designated submitter accounts.
68 In addition, for certain database records, only a designated editor may change the information. <br />
69 Submitters are always accredited on each information page related to theur work (image, experiment, locus, phenotype, etc.) and are the sole owners of the data.<br />
70 <a href="mailto:sgn-feedback\@sgn.cornell.edu">Contact us</a> if you would like to use the community annotation tools and become a submitter or editor.
72 <li>How do I contribute information on my <a href="/phenome/">favorite gene?</a></li>
73 <li><a href="/content/phenotype_submissions.pl">Submit your phenotyped population</a> and we will add it to our <a href="/search/direct_search.pl?search=phenotypes">phenotype database</a></li>
