Another capture type and some documentation on the individual protocols #114

From Meeting Dec 8th: We should check the company that uses the Carpenter 2013 baits, and maybe name it using that. This would be more consistent with the naming of the Twist and Arbor captures. |

OK, not much to criticise here, except that we should think about the name. I have looked at the paper, and I think there is no commercial kit available for humans. Instead, they present this capture method (called WISC, for Whole-Genome In-Solution Capture) as a general method how to capture Ancient DNA from any living species' reference genomes, including non-humans in principle.
I don't know... I think Carpenter2013 is fine. If we wanted to not hard-code the name of the first author here, we could also say WISC2013. Or a mixture: WISC_Carpenter2013. I don't know. I think I may have a slight preference for WISC2013.
As discussed in #107.
Moving the definition of the protocols from the website into the schema is useful here, but it also makes me wonder if we should do this for more information.
