Outline
#General	objectives:	
->	Train	attendees	in	the	use	Cassavabase and	its	breeding	management	functionalities	
(data	loading,	data	visualization	and	analysis)	through	realistic,	hands-on	examples.	
->	Interact	on	an	individual/group	basis	with	breeders	and	scientist.
#Audience:
Group	1:	trial	managers	and	data	collection	teams
Group	2: data	curators	and	analyst
Group	3: PhD	student	and	scientists
Attendees
To check:
1- Existing	account from	previous	trainings	on	test	
site
2- Tablet/smartphone	 with	Fieldbook application	
installed
Overview	Cassavabase:
->	Roundtrip	trial	management	components	(i.e.	search	tools,	list	manager,	upload	and	
download	data	with	Field	book)
->	Provide	updates	on	new	components.
Objectives 1
Explore the different analysis available:
-> Selection index
-> Genomic selection (SolGS): Create training data, build prediction models, predict
breeding values of selection candidates.
-> Assess phenotype and genotype data quality used in modeling using univariate and
bivariate tools and evaluate accuracy of models. Decision support tools.
