Experiments & Observations

This training module covers:

  • Experiments & observations template
  • Uploading a file into DeltaBreed
  • Downloading a file out of DeltaBreed, appending observations and uploading back into DeltaBreed

The experiment and observation template is very similar to both the germplasm and ontology template. Please pay careful attention to the “readme” tab as that contains instructions on which fields are required for successful upload into DeltaBreed.

Template

Import and overwrite

Once a user has completed the experiment & observation template, they can upload the data into DeltaBreed. From there, they can download the file, append and overwrite certain observational values and re-upload into DeltaBreed.

Delete an experiment

Only users with program administration access can delete experiments.

Experiments can only be deleted if there are no observations associated with the experiment.

Add new environments to existing experiments

Best practice would be to include multiple locations in the first initial uploaded of an experiments, however, DeltaBreed has the ability to add new environments to existing ones.
