Yeast Strain (FileMakerPro/Mac)

Yeast Strain enables you to build a databse for your yeast strains. You need a Macintosh computer and FileMakerPro for this file. I spend a whole day to design this, and I think it is at least worth a try. I would suggest to read this page before you download.

Tips for using Yeast Strain

1. In the FileMaker preference, type your name or your lab name (e.g., Chung) in the General/User Name area so that you will have a logo when you print your database (e.g., Chung Yeast Genotypes).

2. There are 4 example strains in the file, from which you can copy and paste things like bold a, alpha, delta, and superscript R when you enter strain data. Remove these files once they are needed no longer.
