Species

Species records provide reusable biological context for samples, batches, protocols, workflows, reporting, and molecular operations.

The species record connects identifying metadata with lineage, files, inventory, and laboratory use.

Metadata

A species record can include domain, scientific name, common name, base species, strain or cultivar, accession or internal identifier, notes, and files.

Base relationships

Use a base species relationship for a strain, cultivar, or variant when that hierarchy improves selection and reporting. Preserve the distinct record when the variant has different procedures, risks, or provenance.

Transformation defaults

Supported species records can provide default Agrobacterium strain or plasmid selections. Defaults are convenience values and must be reviewed in the context of the selected workflow and protocol.

Files

Attach taxonomy references, source documentation, import permits, strain records, handling guidance, or other relevant evidence.

Operational use

Species selection can filter compatible protocols and workflows and provides reporting context for batches and samples. Correct duplicate or incorrectly classified records before production use.

Review and lifecycle

Verify naming, domain, lineage, defaults, files, and regulatory tags. Archive records that should no longer be selected while preserving historical relationships.
