RE: Minimum information about a mutation

hi jim,

you're not giving us much to go on, the actual step by step use case would
be great.

> What is needed for people to trust these observations?

a description of how the observation was made, whatever technology was
behind it (looking through a microscope, performing a qPCR assay, mass
spec on metabolomics, looking at someone else's results and performing an
analysis, ...), what was the environment when the observation was made,
any parameters to the observation that may effect the conclusion of the
observation, who made the observation, when was the observation made, ...
