-    <p>Welcome to the <strong>GeneNetwork Data Quality Control and Upload System</strong>. This system is provided to help in uploading your data onto GeneNetwork where you can do analysis on it.</p>
+    <p>Welcome to the <strong>GeneNetwork Data Upload and Quality Control
+        System</strong>.</p>
+    <p>This tool helps you prepare and upload research data to GeneNetwork for
+      analysis.</p>
 
-    <p>The sections below provide an overview of what features the menu items on
-      the left provide to you. Please peruse the information to get a good
-      big-picture understanding of what the system provides you and how to get
-      the most out of it.</p>
+    <h2 class="heading">Getting Started</h2>
+    <p>The sections below explain the features of the system. Review this guide
+      to learn how to use the system.</p>

-    <h2>Species</h2>
-
-    <p>The GeneNetwork service provides datasets and tools for doing genetic
-      studies &mdash; from
-      <a href="{{gn2server_intro}}"

-         title="GeneNetwork introduction — opens in a new tab.">
-        its introduction</a>:
-
-      <blockquote class="blockquote">
-        <p>GeneNetwork is a group of linked data sets and tools used to study
-          complex networks of genes, molecules, and higher order gene function
-          and phenotypes. &hellip;</p>

-    <p>With this in mind, it follows that the data in the system is centered
-      aroud a variety of species. The <strong>species section</strong> will
-      list the currently available species in the system, and give you the
-      ability to add new ones, if the one you want to work on does not currently
-      exist on GeneNetwork</p>
-
-    <h2>Populations</h2>
-
-    <p>Your studies will probably focus on a particular subset of the entire
-      species you are interested in &ndash; your population.</p>
-    <p>Populations are a way to organise the species data so as to link data to
-      specific know populations for a particular species, e.g. The BXD
-      population of mice (Mus musculus)</p>
-    <p>In older GeneNetwork documentation, you might run into the term
-      <em>InbredSet</em>. Should you run into it, it is a term that we've
-      deprecated that essentially just means the population.</p>
-
-    <h2>Samples</h2>
-
-    <p>These are the samples or individuals (sometimes cases) that were involved
-      in the experiment, and from whom the data was derived.</p>
-
-    <h2>Genotype Data</h2>
-
-    <p>This section will allow you to view and upload the genetic markers for
-      your species, and the genotype encodings used for your particular
-      population.</p>
-    <p>While, technically, genetic markers relate to the species in general, and
-      not to a particular population, the data (allele information) itself
-      relates to the particular population it was generated from &ndash;
-      specifically, to the actual individuals used in the experiment.</p>
-    <p>This is the reason why the genotype data information comes under the
-      population, and will check for the prior existence of the related
-      samples/individuals before attempting an upload of your data.</p>

+    <p>GeneNetwork supports genetic studies across multiple species (e.g. mice
+      [Mus musculus], human [homo sapiens], rats [Rattus norvegicus], etc.) .
+      Here you can:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>View all species that are currently supported</li>
+      <li>Add new species not yet in the system</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <h3 class="subheading">Populations</h3>
+
+    <p>A "population" refers to a specific subgroup within a species that you’re
+      studying (e.g., BXD mice). Here you can:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>View the populations that exist for a selected species</li>
+      <li>Add new populations of study for a selected species</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <h3 class="subheading">Samples</h3>
+
+    <p>Manage individual specimens or cases used in your experiments. These
+      include:</p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>Experimental subjects</li>
+      <li>Data sources (e.g., tissue samples, clinical cases)</li>
+      <li>Strain means (instead of entering multiple BXD1 individuals, for
+        example, the mean would be entered for a single BXD1 strain)</li>
+    </ul>
+
+
+    <h3 class="subheading">Genotype Data</h3>
+
+    <p>Upload and review genetic markers and allele encodings for your
+      population. Key details:</p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>Markers are species-level (e.g., mouse SNP databases).</li>
+      <li>Allele data is population-specific (tied to your experimental
+        samples).</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p><strong>Requirement</strong>: Samples must already have been registered
+      in the system before uploading genotype data.</p>
+
+    <h3 class="subheading">Phenotype Data</h3>
+
+    <p>Phenotypes are the visible traits or features of a living thing. For
+      example, phenotypes include:</p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>Weight</li>
+      <li>Height</li>
+      <li>Color (such as the color of fur or eyes)</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>This part of the system will allow you to upload and manage the values
+      for different phenotypes from various samples in your studies.</p>
