Summary of data content included in the Traditional Medicine Collection Tracking System (TM-CTS). TM-CTS supports data related to all aspects of an ethnobotanically-driven drug discovery program from plant cultivation and collection through to fractionation of plant extracts. The database currently includes data from plant collections, authentication and quality tests, shipment, extraction, and fractionation. The database is designed to work in conjunction with a screening database (Screensaver; Tolopko et al., 2010) that stores information related to high throughput screens of the plant fractions.
