Project Unity Tutorial Video

Project Unity is a collaborative network to host, manage, analyze and share phenotypes and genotypes studies of plants and animals, provided for free to academic researchers by Phenome Networks.

Unlike other traditional and static databases, it has been designed as a network, driven by the academic community, adopting elements taken from social networks. As such, it provides each research lab with its own management system for phenotypes and genotypes, where a simple interface allows biologists to conduct QTL and GWAS analyses in a few minutes, to annotate their data using common terminology (i.e. ontology) and, based on this, to make smart comparisons to other relevant data sets, generated by other researchers.

By default, data loaded into Project Unity is private and can be accessed only by the person who uploaded it. At any time, each user has the right, but not the obligation, to share any of its data sets, either with specific users or with the public.
