3.7. Genotype, Phenotype, and Environment

The fourth set of fields in TPPS is the Genotype, Phenotype, and Environment section, where users upload Genotypic, Phenotypic, and Environmental data and metadata about each organism. In multi-species submissions, users can reuse data from the previous species by checking the ‘<Genotype/Phenotype/Environmental> information for <organism i> is the same as <genotype/phenotype/environmental> information for <organism i-1>.’ box, which is only available after the first organism. The form fields and their properties are as follows:

  • Species x: fieldset
