The process of uploading a data-set to a local installation of AgriSeqDB consists of 3-steps. First, the user selects a unique identifier and display name for the data-set (a). Second, the user chooses the count file and various eFP images used to display expression values from their PC to upload (b). Finally, the user can alter many settings that control how the data-set is displayed in the landing portal and each data-viewer as shown in Additional file 1 (see Supplementary Fig. 1). Most settings have sensible defaults where user input is required, time saving tools (such as colour picker & clickable image for eFP settings) or spreadsheet import/export (sample settings)
