Questions for AIND users

Q: How do I create a subject file?

The metadata service (http://aind-metadata-service/) pulls metadata from LabTracks about our mice. If you are using a subject that is not from our animal facility, you will need to create this manually. You can either use the GUI (https://metadata-entry.allenneuraldynamics.org/) or write python code that imports aind-data-schema.
