Mead Lab: Database
We have developed a web-based database to keep track of frogs in our system. We opted for a web-based system so that we can access the information from any computer or handheld device. Below are screen shots from sample pages of the database. Each identified transgenic frog is micro-chipped with an RFID transmitter (Microsensys). The chip ID is recovered using a Bluetooth pen reader that is linked to a handheld device (see Methods section).

Menu bar and search function of the MeadLab frog database home page.
Home page - Search function
Search function to find information on frogs in the system based on name, chip ID, tank etc.
Map of Xenopus tropicalis room
Map of the MeadLab Xenopus tropicalis aquarium. Each rack is 'clickable' and pulls up a list of the tanks in that rack.
Rack view for Rack 1 that houses the wild type females used for egg production
The left column contains a list of the tanks in the rack - clicking on each tank generates a list of the frogs in that tank.
Detail view of an individual frog
The database is organized around the unique 16-digit alphanumeric RFID chip implanted in each frog. The 'nickname' for each frog is usually the last four digits of the chip ID but any trivial name can be used. Each frog page has links to media (integration site data, photographs, videos, Southern blots, FISH data etc), outcross information and a family tree for the individual.
Outcross data for frog 127E
Example shows four outcrosses for female 127E. The view column on the left will open a page with the specific outcross data.
Outcross data for frog 127E on 9 July 2009
This outcross produced 4,792 tadpoles (the Meadlab record to date).
