1. Download Most Recent Version of Phenex
Phenex was developed by Phenoscape for annotation of evolutionary phenotypes. Phenex can be downloaded at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=76834&package_id=295042
For Mac, click on the link "phenex-1.0-beta12-mac.zip"
For Windows, click on the link "phenex-1.0-beta12-win.zip"
Installation and start up
You need Java 1.5 or newer to run Phenex. For the Mac this requires Mac OS X 10.4 or newer. How to check your java version:
- Windows:
Go to http://www.java.com. Click on "Do I have Java?". On the following page don't worry if it says "Oops! You don't have the recommended Java installed." Look at the next line where it might say "Your Java version is Version 6 update 5". It should be Version 5 or higher. If you don't have Java at all or have an older version, please click on the Download Java Now link and install it.
- Mac:
If you have a Mac, you should be fine if you have Mac OS X 10.4 or higher (Java comes with the system). Click on the Apple menu at the left of your menubar, and choose "About This Mac". Under "Mac OS X" it should have the Mac OS version number.
2. Access Project Files
Phenoscape project files are .xml files created using Phenex and housed a data repository. Instructions for accessing the data repository can be found here .
3. Update Taxon Lists
Most project files require a taxonomic expert to review the taxonomy used in a publication and update to reflect current taxonomy. Please see instructions for updating taxon lists.
4. Use Ontologies to Annotate Characters
The primary activity of a curator is to annotate the free-text characters from systematic studies using ontologies. Instructions for this activity can be found in the Phenoscape Guide to Character Annotation.
5. Request New Terms for Ontologies
Curation drives ontology development and many new terms and relationships need to be added. For instructions on how to make these changes, see the * Term Request Instructions.
