After collecting and uploading trait data, breeders must evaluate them and look for probable outliers and questionable data before sending them for analysis. The Phenotypic Data Manager allows breeders you to:
View, filter, and sort plot data;
View the descriptive statistics of all numeric traits of the active occurrence;
Detect possible outliers;
Suppress and unsuppress unsuppressed plot data; and
Generate box plots, histograms, scatter plots, and heatmaps per trait.
You must first access the Phenotypic Data Manager tool through Experiment Manager in the Core Breeding domain.
Let’s get started!
Get Started
Get started
There are two ways to access of accessing the Phenotypic Data Manager: through the Experiment Manager tool and the Breeding Analytics domain.
Info | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Reminder:
|
On the Experiment Manager browser, tick the checkbox () parallel to the selected occurrence.
On the upper right of the table, click the Access Breeding Tool button () then select Phenotypic Data Manager from the dropdown menu.
Expand | ||
---|---|---|

You will be redirected to the Phenotypic Data Manager page which displays the trait data from the selected occurrence. The Table, Box Plot, Histogram, Scatter Plot, and Heatmap tabs are available to visualize more about the occurrence trait data. To know more about the tabs, you may check /wiki/spaces/EBSDrafts/pages/29582688702.
However, you may still switch to another occurrence by clicking the dropdown menu.
The Phenotypic Data Manager browser will display the list of all experiments under yourprogram with their experiment types and statuses. To select the occurrence for evaluating trait data, click the Expand button (>) beside the experiment.
Once you have the occurrence in mind, click the radio button () on the left side of the occurrence and click Explore from the upper right corner of the browser.
Navigate the Phenotypic Data Manager
The Phenotypic Data Manager tool allows users to view, sort, and verify the data uploaded to your occurrence.
Let’s look at the action items and their functions on the page.
PDM Data Browser
Some occurrences with no plot trait data might be available on this data browser. This is due to data issues in the tool. While these occurrences can be selected on the data browser, they cannot be opened because there is no plot trait data to show.
To resolve this, please let us know by r eporting reporting the issue as a bug as soon as you encounter them.
