EBS-BA 25.09: Breeding Analytics Known Limitations

9 October, 2025

⚠️Breeding Analytics Known Limitations

These are known tool limitations. Workarounds are available, and fixes are scheduled for upcoming releases to improve reliability and enhance the user experience.

ARM (Single-Occurrence)

Slow loading (~1 min) when selecting occurrences; performance depends on data size and network.
Some jobs remain stuck in “Processing.”
Workaround: Run not more than 20 traits or jobs per analysis request. Fix in next sprint.

ARM (MOA)

“Void” jobs can still be included in MOA results.
MOA error may appear if weight values are blank or missing.

Molecular Data Analysis(MDA)

Datasets with approximately 500 samples by 300 markers may load slowly or fail to start due to no background processing.
Planned: Background job handling and progress updates coming this year.
F1 Verification in MDA may show a 424 Failed Dependency error due to authorization key issues.

SDM-API

Missing “entry type” or “entry role” fields are not yet validated during upload.
Fix: Field checks and defaults scheduled for next sprint.

Phenotypic Data Manager (PDM) July 2025 Monthly Release Notes

7 August, 2025

Bug fix

Reflecting the updates to an occurrence’s primary information on the Trait Table, which includes germplasm and mapping information, can now be performed reliably in PDM without issue.

MDA EBS BA 25.08: Molecular Data Analysis

13 October, 2025

Molecular Data Analysis (MDA)

Reliable QC/QA Data Results

Inconsistencies between the View QC/QA Data and Parental Purity tools have been resolved. Parental purity results now display correctly based on the germplasm list you select, ensuring aligned and dependable outputs.

Enhanced Data Export for F1 Verification

A new export option has been added to simplify downloading F1 Verification results. The exported files now fully match what you see on-screen, providing a seamless and accurate data experience. (A minor issue identified during export will be addressed in the next sprint.)

Updated Parental Purity Endpoint

The Parental Purity function now supports version 2 testing, offering clearer match percentage and purity threshold information. While version 1 remains available for backward compatibility, users are encouraged to switch to the new version for improved results.

Germplasm Lists for Workflow Testing

Germplasm lists have been refined to better support F1 Verification, Parental Purity, and QTL Profiling workflows. This ensures all necessary genotype data are accessible for smoother testing and validation.

GM EBS CB 25.09: Germplasm Manager

17 October, 2025

Germplasm Manager (GM)

Germplasm Manager (GM) updates ensure that germplasm data remains accurate and editable without system errors.

✅ Fixed multiple bugs in germplasm uploads and updates, including blank template handling, variable mismatches, and incorrect coding limits.

✅ Ensured correct germplasm naming, variable mapping, and type assignment during creation and updates.

EBS-CB 25.09: Core Breeding Known Limitations

17 October, 2025

Core Breeding Known Limitations

These are known tool limitations. Workarounds are available, and fixes are scheduled for upcoming releases to enhanced reliability and user experience.

Experiment Creation

Package Selection: Inactive or discarded packages may still appear for selection.
- Workaround: Verify package status before use. Update in progress.

Experiment Manager

Germplasm Code: Missing in exports.
- Current Action: Field renaming under review.
Templates: Some printout templates are not visible for certain programs.
Cross Table: Does not update automatically after entry replacement.
- Workaround: Refresh Crosses Browser manually.
Downloads: Some buttons and traits are missing in exports.
- Current Action: Config validation ongoing.
CSV Inconsistencies: Duplicate/missing entries in exported files.
- Current Action: Replication in progress.
Multi-occurrence Files: Download errors.
- Current Action: Verify and retry.
Data Misalignment: Inconsistent headers for planting/management data.
- Current Action: Data under review.

Data Collection

Time Series Upload: Only one occurrence uploads when files contain multiple.
Workaround: Upload files per occurrence. Fix planned in a future sprint.

BrAPI

Field Data Import: Plot information may be missing in the new import UI due to a technical mapping issue.
- Workaround: Use the old Field Book import UI. Fix under collaboration with PhenoApps.

Seed Inventory

Admin Access: Admins require program membership to access the IM tool; RBAC alignment is planned.
RSHT Data: Data not visible in the Shipment Outgoing tool; update to seed_data table in progress.
