A primary goal this to provide both useful management tool breeders other applied scientists research genetic scientists. The contains four interface suites that include displays each of the available or data types. These display are accessible via genotype portal, search allows users begin with accession obtain all graphical views overall cultivar performance means between group standard deviations indicated in an easy‐to‐interpret manner common trial measures such as lint yield, micronaire, etc. interactive map diversity Genetic displayed traditional linear two‐dimensional comparative dot plot formats. tree‐based format showing degrees similarity among genotypes. stored Oracle relational database (RDBMS) schemas containing tables storage, auto‐calculated statistics parameters. searchable RDBMS provides flexibility wide range query options well integration paths amongst various
