On this page, we collect frequently asked questions that are useful to a large number of users. Please let us know if you have a question that you think should be added.

Question: Where can I order clones?
Answer: This depends on the species and on the specific library. For tomato clones, you can use the clone ordering facility at the Boyce Thompson Institute. For potato clones that were sequenced as part of the U.S. potato genome project, the ordering is handled by the Arizona Genome Institute. For all other libraries, please contact the library submitters given on the library detail pages (use the Library Search page to find the library in question).

Question: The SGN pages look really messed up on my browser.
Answer: You are working with an old browser that does not support style sheets, such as the browsers of the Netscape 4.x series. SGN pages require style sheets and javascript to be turned on.

Question: Can I submit my data to SGN?
Answer: Please send an email to sgn-feedback@sgn.cornell.edu with a description of the data you would like to submit. We will then work with you to integrate your data into the database and/or add it to the FTP server.
