In this training module users can learn:
How to communicate with their BI Coordinator for successful data upload and management through DeltaBreed.
Working with your BI Coordinator
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 in its early stages of program adoption, 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 for your first data uploads, is the first step in that direction.
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)
Your BI Coordinator will be assigned as a program administrator in your DeltaBreed program. DeltaBreed uses various templates to curate and validate data upload. 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 or a program can share data in their own format and work with BI to format the data from there. 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.

DeltaBreed Sandbox Public Practice Server
- Public URL: https://sandbox.breedinginsight.net/
- Public Sandbox Purpose: BrAPI URL public demobase, can be used with anonymous example data for training or demo purposes.
Important aspects about a public, practice server
- In the public Sandbox server , you should expect your data to get wiped from time to time.
- Everyone using this instance can see your data. You may want to anonymize your data if you choose to do any small uploads to test upload features.
How do users log in?
- Login information is located on the left of the home screen of the sandbox.
DeltaBreed Production – Client facing
URL: https://app.breedinginsight.net/
Purpose: Upload of curated breeding program data for permanent storage.
Important aspects to know:
- Only BI staff and people you have requested can see your program data.
- The data is not wiped so you can load real data.
- The production server is where you will actually load germplasm, ontology, and experiments/observations for your breeding program.
- Any errors made here will require an BI-IT request to fix it on the backend. At this time, DeltaBreed has limited edit and delete functions so practicing in the test servers is best until you are confident you can upload data in production.
How to log in
You will need an ORCID account. DeltaBreed uses ORCID credentials to authenticate access.
Please see step-by-step instructions below on how to sign up for an ORCID account if you do not currently have one.
Get an ORCID Account
If you already have an ORCID associated email or ID number, share that with your BI Coordinator so that they can add you to your DeltaBreed program. If you do not, this video will walk you through how to get one.
