Statistical analysis

  • Use Breeding View, developed by VSNi, the makers of GenStat and ASReml, for:
    • Compelling visual pipeline workflow for analyses; 
    • Mixed model single-site phenotypic analysis, with correlation and spacial analysis options;
    • Multi-site (GxE) phenotypic analysis, using traditional stability analysis, AMMI models and correlation modeling, with or without environment groupings;
    • Single-trait single-environment QTL analysis;
    • Graphical and spreadsheet reports of analyses;
  • Export data for analysis by any statistical package.

Electronic data capture

BMS Pro can accommodate electronic data capture with a variety of devices, but is particularly optimized for the use of Field Book, an Android application of the PhenoApps collection:

  • Add, modify, view and search field data
  • Collect data in many formats: numeric, percentage, categorical, date, Boolean, text, photo, counter, rust rating, and audio.
  • Transfer data electronically between devices, as well as to and from BMS Pro.
