BA 2024

Refresh the data browser.

A refresh icon lets you reload the data browser to update its contents. On the ARM, data browser, this helps you see the updated status of your requests and its jobs, both for single-occurrence analyses (SOA) and multi-occurrence analyses (MOA).

View the errors for canceled requests.

For a better user experience, you can now expect an error message for analysis requests that were canceled, so you can review accordingly. The same is also provided for the request’s job/s that encountered an error. Simply hover over the status to display the error message.

Submit analysis requests to Bioflow.

The results of analysis requests created in ARM can now be sent to Bioflow for further analysis. Users can still download a copy of the results in ARM via the download icon. Both features are enabled as soon as the analysis request transitions to the EXPORTED status.

Bug fixes

You can expect to encounter no problems when using the program filters, such that only the relevant transactions from the selected program are available in the data browsers.

View transaction comments.

Transaction comments are created to note any important details or changes after checking data quality. These can be created via the modal window that opens when saving the changes made in the Trait Table. Hover over the note icon found on the Trait Table’s toolbar to reveal any saved comments.

Save transactions easily.

Use the improved modal window when saving the changes made in the Trait Table. A more straight-forward and user-friendly interface modal window is available, which is made possible by the removal of the Close Transaction checkbox. Previously, ticking this checkbox allows the system to close the transaction without saving the changes and reload the page to provide the updated occurrence data from Core Breeding. Instead, you can just use the Check for Updates button in the Trait Table’s toolbar for the same purpose.

Be notified when accessing occurrences with no collected data.

A modal window 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. This modal window can also be displayed by clicking the hyperlink in the warning message beside the tool name.

Bug fixes

You can expect to encounter no errors when browsing for occurrences to explore.

Design definitions are updated.

The updated design definitions for the following designs are implemented:

1. Alpha-Lattice,

2. Augmented,

3. Augmented RCBD,

4. Row-Column, and

5. Partially Replicated.

These are supported in the new user interface implementation of Core Breeding’s Experiment Creation tool, specifically in the Design tab.

Bug fix

The errors encountered during randomization of an Augmented design are now fixed.

Request and view F1 hybridity testing results.

To check if the F1 genotype matches the expected genotype, F1 hybridity testing is done. As such, users can now generate F1 hybridity results using genotyping requests with the purpose of Hybridity Testing in the MDA tool. The results show whether a sample is a True F1 (indicated as ‘TRUE’) when 100% of its genotype matches with the expected one. Otherwise, the sample is indicated as FALSE.

The results can also be downloaded on your local device. This new feature integrates cross and marker data from the Cross Manager and GIGWA, respectively.

View and download consensus haplotype data for Parental Purity Analysis.

The consensus haplotype data allows users to easily confirm if their samples match the expected haplotype. This is now reflected on the results data browser and the exported file for Parental Purity Analysis requests.

The genotype data browser is improved.

The following features are improved for a better user experience:

1. Download genotype data. The download button on the toolbar now opens a modal window that lets you customize the contents of your file export. Additionally, the option to include sample call rates and marker call rates are provided.

2. Renamed ‘germplasm’ to ‘sample'. All mentions of ‘germplasm’ is replaced with 'sample' on the data browser. This is to standardize the terms used in the genotyping workflow.

Bug fixes

You can now expect:

1. a warning message on the data browser stating that the genotyping request you searched for does not exist, and

2. that the sample and marker call rates you provided are reflected on the exported result files.

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:

1. Expect a more compact and even layout of the main data browser and analysis results page, and

2. Automatically adjust the layout based on the device’s screen size for a better display, where the following are enabled for smaller screens:

   1. buttons and color legends in the Trait Table, and

   2. pop-up notifications, loading, and warning messages.

   3. vertical and horizontal scroll bars,

   4. fixed column headers,

   5. fixed page navigation features when viewing job outputs, and

   6. compact view of job output data and graphs.
