lets start with this, I'll get better examples for the links (the X,Y,Z) tomorrow, you can use what is there now if you like. Please free to play with it :-).

The Monarch Initiative (tagline) Enabling navigation across a rich landscape of phenotypes, diseases, models, and genes for translational research.

(short description - smaller font?) Semantically describing this data enables novel computational methods to identify previously unknown relationships and suggest novel biological insights. Our goal is to provide usable tools that will help biomedical researchers harness the power of these computational approaches.

For the boxes, perhaps play with coloring these differently using our color scheme, or we can try to develop an icon for each:

Diseases Explore genetic diseases, find similar models, examine phenotypes, and identify related genes. Try looking at: X,Y, Z.

Models Find model systems that recapitulate various aspects of human disease or phenotypes. Sample models: X,Y,Z.

Phenotypes See which diseases, models, and genes are linked to an observed phenotype. For example, X, Y, Z.

Phenotype characterization
Learn which diseases and models are most similar to a set of phenotypic observations in human, mouse, or zebrafish. For example, view a patient phenotype profile including the following phenotypes: (list 5-7 that have a good match).

also, please spell out the institutions on the front page attributions. Thx

Looks good to me.

We'll have a first pass out later today.

Also include a prominent link to /analyze/phenotypes (search by phenotype profile)?

Yes that was the idea behind the phenotype characterization box, so that we could have four boxes for now.
