A community resource for museomics — DNA-based methods applied to museum specimens. It showcases working methods across taxonomic groups and preservation types, backed by a curated bibliography of supporting papers and SOPs.
🌐 Site: https://museomics.github.io/methods/
- Methods (
/) — filter working methods by taxon (phylum/division grouped under kingdom), preservation, extraction, library prep, and sequencing. Cards expand to full protocol notes. - Bibliography (
/bibliography/) — papers and SOPs, filterable by type and method tag. - Contribute (
/contribute/) — suggest an entry via issue form, or by PR.
- Jekyll static site, built and deployed to GitHub Pages by GitHub Actions
(
.github/workflows/deploy.yml) — not the stock Pages build, so plugins and a validation step are available. - Entries are Markdown files with YAML front-matter in
_methods/and_bibliography/. A Liquid template compiles them tomethods.json/bibliography.jsonat build time. - Filtering, search, sorting, and card expansion are plain client-side
JavaScript (
assets/js/app.js) — no framework. Active filters are reflected in the URL so views are shareable. - Tags come from a controlled vocabulary in
_data/tags.yml, enforced in CI byscripts/validate_entries.rb.
See CONTRIBUTING.md. The seed example-* / Seed example
entries are placeholders — replace them with real content.
