The Templates and Central Registry team at GCP's Subprogramme 4 are pleased to announce the launch of new Data templates, now available via the GCP Bioinformatics portal. The new templates are designed to assist GCP scientists in formatting their data sets, for uploading to the GCP Central Registry.

Participants of the forthcoming GCP Annual Research Meeting (ARM) should be informed that a plenary demonstration session for guidance on how to use the templates is scheduled to take place at 18h00 on Day one of the ARM, Tuesday 16th September, immediately after the Parallel sessions.

In addition to the plenary demonstration, there will also be individual helpdesk sessions organised during the coffee & lunch breaks of ARM. Throughout these sessions, the project team will be ready and available to help participants with formatting, registering and uploading of datasets. All ARM participants are therefore asked to come along to the meeting with data in hand!
