Pedigree Import

IBP Activity 2.2.2, Subactivity 2: Develop Genealogy Manager Application

Principal Investigator:Mylah Anacleto, IRRI

Presentor: Alex Cañeda, IRRI

Pedigree Import• Import of germplasm entries using a predefined

file format containing pedigree strings• Software allows user to verify if the entries in the

imported file exist in the database• Software parses the pedigree strings based on

selected rice nomenclature rules and name standardization

• If unrecognized, allows users to edit portions of the pedigree string, and then check the resulting split for correctness, and apply the changes made back to the pedigree entry.

Pedigree Import• The target end users of the application are the

data managers and data curators whose tasks include the bulk loading of historical pedigree entries

Timeline and milestones

• October 2013 – Beta version• January 2014 – Release candidate 1• June 2014 – Release candidate 2

Timeline and milestones

Collection of nomenclature rules for Rice

Collection of nomenclature rules for Rice

Sample input pedigree strings

”IR” cross number designation - for all crosses made in IRRI; assigned by the database administrator of PBGB

IR 88888 is an F2 plant.• IR 88888-21 is an F3

21st selection from IR 88888 F2 population• IR 88888-21-2 is an F4.

2nd selection from the IR 88888-21 (F3)• IR 88888-21-2-2 is an F5.

2nd selection from the IR 88888-21-2 (F4) • IR 88888 -21-2-2-2 is an F6.

2nd selection from the IR 88888-21-2-2 (F5)

Features• Loading of large volume of historical

germplasm data in to the ICIS GMS database• Parse cross history strings of unknown

crosses and, look for parents in the database• User to control the selection of parents found in

the database or create a new entry for the parents

• Derivative names of parents are recognized by looking for a cross number followed by letters and numbers separated by dashes

Features• Pedigree Importer will use the same parsing

algorithm that has been developed under the Delphi based ICIS GMS parser application the GMSInput– Note: using java, developed parser based on

expected output as specified in the guide on nomenclature rules, not sure if the same algorithm

• basic data validation (for example, the parent should not be younger than its offspring) – not yet done

• The other features can be viewed from IBP site

Technologies used• Web-based: GUI was written using PHP

programming language• Java Web Services (Jersey)• Web Servers: Apache Tomcat and Apache httpd• Database: MySQL while testing the IBP

middleware but will eventually need to use PostgreSQL

GUI• Home page

GUI• File is uploaded. Pedigree Strings not in

standardized format are in red color.

GUI• Pedigree strings are standardized after clicking

the standardize button. Unrecognized patterns are in red color. Click the pedigree string to edit.

GUI• Edit Germplasm Name

GUI• Changes are applied after editing germplasm

names with unrecognized patterns.

GUI• Create GID’s.

• After clicking the Create GID button. The link to display the strings created with GID’s is shown

GUI

• Sample of Create GID’s page .

Features: string parsers

Pedigree string parser• Identify tokens using ‘–’ as delimiterFor each token:• Name standardization• Use of Regex libraries• Check spaces and patterns• Check cross notations (Single cross, compound

cross, backcross)

Next module

Pedigree Editor• To communicate with

IBP/Efficio on middleware requirements

• Scope is for pedigree/genealogy editor needs (limited germplasm editing); to be able to edit the information uploaded using pedigree import tool.
