      A note about training materials

      information ordinal icon
      These training materials are designed by using Breeding Insight practice servers so some screen shots will look slightly different than what you may see on your end in the production server. If you have any questions regarding these training materials, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Breeding Insight Coordinator or BI's Training & Communications Lead, Kristen Lind at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

      DeltaBreed v1.0 also has a manual. This training follows that manual and the manual can be referenced for more details. [**DeltaBreed v1.0 manual**](https://breedinginsight.atlassian.net/l/cp/XTSEPLQk)

      At the end of this training you will be able to: - Login and know when to use the practice versus production DeltaBreed server. - Create a program and add users. - Add locations, breeding methods, and share ontology. - Upload, download, append, and view germplasm details. - Upload ontologies, add new terms and search terms. - Upload and append experiments & observations. - Connect to FieldBook. - Complete Learning Links in practice servers. - Work with your BI Coordinator to curate your data for upload.

      Important things to note about DeltaBreed software

      alert ordinal icon
      Please note that in DeltaBreed, you must have both germplasm and ontology terms imported before you can upload any experiments or observations. DeltaBreed validates the experiments and observations based on the GIDs and ontology terms that are already in DeltaBreed and matches them on the template. Attempting to upload data in the incorrect order will throw error codes. This training is designed to follow the flow of DeltaBreed in terms of what the system needs in order to complete later steps.

      Note that v1.0 does not have the necessary work completed to connect genotypes to samples so genotypic data is not going to be loaded in v1.0 production programs. Look for this exciting feature in future releases of DeltaBreed.

      Communicating with BI staff regarding your data

      information ordinal icon
      Your BI Coordinator will be your main point of contact with DeltaBreed and you are invited to participate in data curation and upload as much as you are comfortable. Since DeltaBreed is still a beta product, we want to be able to help breeding programs become comfortable navigating through DeltaBreed and their data. The ultimate hope of DeltaBreed is for breeding programs to be able to use DeltaBreed comfortably on their own and working with your Coordinator with v01.0, is the first step in that direction. In this training program, we walk you through how to use the DeltaBreed interface and how best to curate data for upload. Please feel free to ask questions and share concerns with your BI Coordinator as you share data and learn more about what DeltaBreed can offer your breeding program.

      About DeltaBreed Templates

      information ordinal icon
      Data import into DeltaBreed relies on the use of flat files. DeltaBreed has configured several templates that work with the system to validate data upon import. This training goes through each template in it's corresponding section: - Germplasm - Ontology - Experiments & Observations - Sample Submission - (Still in testing phase) Breeding Insight does not require breeders to use the template when sharing information with their BI Coordinator, but believes that using the template format can make data upload quicker and more efficient; requiring less IT back end fixes. BI Coordinators will be organizing data into these templates for upload and may have additional questions regarding any data that you share with them. It is completely possible for breeding programs to organize data onto these templates and share them with Coordinator if that program feels comfortable doing that. Our long term goal is to have each breeding program upload their own data into DeltaBreed one day and we are happy to help meet you where ever you are in that journey.
