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 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 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

There are two ways to access the Phenotypic Data Manager: the Experiment Manager tool and the Breeding Analytics domain.

Reminder:

  • You should first have user access to the Breeding Analytics domain. If you have challenges, contact admin or send a ticket request.

  • The tool only accepts occurrences that have the plantedTRAIT DATA COLLECTED status.

  • You can only choose one occurrence at a time.

  1. On the Experiment Manager browser, tick the checkbox () parallel to the selected occurrence.

  2. On the upper right of the table, click the Access Breeding Tool button () then select Phenotypic Data Manager from the dropdown menu.

  1. Open the Breeding Analytics domain link and log in using your EBS credentials.

 

  1. After that, click the left navigation button () and find the Phenotypic Data Manager tool.

 

  1. 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 the occurrence trait data. To know more about the tabs, you may check generate visualizations.

 

  1. For experiments with more than one occurrence, you may still switch to another occurrence by clicking the dropdown menu.

 

  1. The Phenotypic Data Manager browser will display the list of all experiments under your program with their experiment types and statuses. To select the occurrence for evaluating trait data, click the Expand button (>) beside the experiment.

 

  1. 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.

Great job! Now that you are familiar with the Phenotypic Data Manager browser, you can start evaluating your trait data.
