For large-scale projects, long-term research, or collaborations with large teams, traditional paper notebooks may fail to manage the huge amounts of data generated in lab workflows. TeselaGen’s software includes an Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN), a tool that allows you to meticulously plan your experiments and integrate them with your DNA Assemblies and workflow management system.


ACCESSING THE ELN

To access your ELN, click on the three bars on the left upper side of the landing page. Then, click on "Notebook".

There, you will see a left panel with the entries you have created and archived. To create a new one, click on the “Create New Entry” option or click the “plus (+)” icon located on the upper part of the left panel.

Next, let's make a small tutorial of an ELN's entry.


CREATING AND MOVING ENTRIES

To create a new entry, click on the blue button and fill in the required information:

After clicking on submit, you'll be able to Now, let's see how to work with a blank entry:

Commands

When writing your entries, you can use different types of blocks by writing [slash] “/” and selecting from the available options:

  • Headings: You can use up to three levels of headings to hierarchize your information.

  • Blocks: You can divide your information into numbered lists, bullet lists, checklists, or paragraphs.

  • Advanced: Add a table.

  • Media: Upload images, videos, audio, or other types of files.

Referencing Entries

Use the [at] "@" symbol to include entries from your libraries into your ELN. When typing it, you will be asked to type the name of the entry you want to reference:

Once you type the name, the window will display a list of the matching entries on your sequences, plates, worklists, etc.

Select the one you want to include and it will appear on the page (this view is interactive so you can go to the registry, locations, select samples, etc.)

You can add things from your inventory or abstract materials such as DNA sequences or even designs!

Text Format

You can edit the format of the text by changing the style or using bolds, italics, underlined, or strike. You can also change the alineation, change the color of the text, and add hyperlinks.
