Help central

The SOL Genomics Network (SGN) is a database and website dedicated to the genomic information of the nightshade family, which includes species such as tomato, potato, pepper, petunia and eggplant.

Glossary

We have a searchable glossary of biology terms which are used on this site.

Software requirements

The SGN website is designed to work with most common browsers. No additional software is required. The SGN webpages use the XHTML 1.0 and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) standards from the W3 consortium. Certain documents can be downloaded in the PDF format.

We test the pages in Mozilla 1.2, Firefox 1.0, Camino 0.7 and Microsoft Explorer 5. Please note that Netscape 4.x browsers are explicitly not supported due to a lack of style sheet support. We recommend the latest version of Firefox, which is available free of charge for all common platforms from the Mozilla project (http://www.mozilla.org). Please let us know if you experience problems with other browsers.

Browser settings

Please refer to your browser's manual or help pages to enable the following settings:
  • JavaScript has to be activated for the drop down menus to work properly.
  • Cookies have to be enabled for the log in functions to work.

SGN update cycle

The SGN codebase and database are updated weekly, every Wednesday morning. During the updates, for a short period of time, some links may not work properly. Please notify us if these conditions persist.
