Certain documents can be downloaded in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format">PDF format</a>.
49 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>).

71 <h5>Submitting information to SGN:</h5>
74 SGN has community annotation tools are available for locus, allele, insitu experiments and images. <br />
75 The related information can be added, updated and deleted by registered SGN users that have specially designated submitter accounts.
76 In addition, for certain database records, only a designated editor may change the information. <br />
77 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 />
