Get help with EBS features.You can now use the icon found on the top menu bar to open the links for the EBS User Guides and the EBS Support Desk. The former contains step-by-step instructions on how to use tools and their features, while the latter lets you request for additional support when needed. Data browser display and layout is enhanced.The following improvements are featured when using BA tools:

Be notified when accessing occurrences with no collected data.An info panel is now immediately displayed when you open an occurrence with no collected plot trait data. The message includes instructions on how to troubleshoot the issue. PDM data browsers are improved.A series of improvements on the way you view and navigate the PDM tool and its browsers are in place. Specifically, you can now:
Bug fixReported bugs are now fixed. You can now expect that traits with no collected data will not be displayed in the Stats Table, so that errors in statistical calculations are prevented. |

Viewing, cleaning, and downloading genotype data is now supported.When viewing () the results of your genotype request, the browser is divided into two sections: the top panel, housing summary information, and the main browser, where data is shown. Using the top panel, you can now define the germplasm call rate threshold and the marker call rate threshold to Filter the displayed data. A Reset button is also featured to quickly set the thresholds back to its default value of 95%. On the main browser, the Marker Call Rates for each marker is also shown at the last row of the Genotype Data tab. To view any excluded germplasm and markers based on the set thresholds, the Excluded Germplasm and Excluded Markers tabs are enabled as well. When no germplasm or marker satisfy the indicated threshold filter, a message is displayed. To allows users to use the genotype data as input for other analyses, the options to download () the filtered or all of the genotype data in either a CSV or TXT file format are also enabled. Beside this is the filename text field, where you can supply your preferred filename or use the auto-generated one.
Request for parental purity analysis.To ensure that cross combinations produce the expected genotype, parental purity analysis is done. As such, genotyping requests with this specific purpose can now be used to request for parental purity analysis via the MDA tool. Simply open your genotyping results by viewing () its data and click the Request Analysis button at the top right area of the browser. This redirects you to a new page. In the Parental Purity tab, only the Purity testing by internal consensus is supported as of now. Simply click Next to view the Results tab. In the table, a result of either TRUE or FALSE will be shown, where:
Click Next to view the Statistics tab. Allele 1 and Allele 2 indicates the count of the most common and second common allele, respectively. Beside these columns, the count of calls that are heterozygous and missing are displayed. Data on the percentages of the aforementioned are also provided, bearing the respective counts divided by the total number of samples. Finally, the feature to download the results and create the filename is also hosted just above the data browser. A zipped file is exported containing separate CSV files for the results and statistics.
Bug fixYou can now expect to reset both the germplasm and marker call rates when clicking on the Reset button. |

Visualize data for traits with at least one good or questionable data point.In the Box Plot, Histogram, Scatter Plot, and Heatmap tabs, the trait list box now only contains those traits with at least one plot trait data whose quality control (QC) code is good or questionable. Otherwise, the trait list box will be empty. This feature allows users to generate valid visualizations from their plot trait datasets. Previously, all traits are enabled for visualization by default. Suppression of values in the Box Plot tab is enhanced.The following improvements are featured:
Management of plot trait data is improved.To improve user experience, the following improvements are featured:

Browse and view genotype requests and their data.From the left navigation panel, select the MDA tool. This should open the newly-enabled data browser, which houses genotype requests and their basic information. The icon allows you to view the request’s data stored in the following tabs: Genotype Data, Excluded Germplasm, and Excluded Markers. An info panel also provides a summary of Germplasm and Markers, as well as the Call Rate Threshold. As of this version, the filter features in the tabs and buttons in the Call Rate Threshold are not yet working, while data on Excluded Markers is not yet available. Bug fixYou can expect to encounter no errors when navigating to the MDA data browser and viewing genotype requests. |

Data type validation is now enabled before QC codes are changed.When converting the quality control (QC) codes of bad and suppressed trait data to good, data type validation is now applied to check if such changes are allowable or not. The process ensures that only those trait data with valid formats can be converted to good.
In the Trait Table, right-click on a trait data with the QC code of either bad, suppressed, or questionable. The option to convert these to Good or Questionable will only be available if the current trait data format complies with the expected data format for that trait and its data type. Otherwise, these QC code options are disabled. A brief explanation is also provided for your reference. Lastly, this feature can also be applied when changing QC codes individually or in bulk. |
