How add more data (MCPD) in Traits tool?
Hi Genesys team,
Our curators have been exploring the Genesys tools and have identified great potential in each of them. In particular, the Traits section for each crop has made an excellent impression, which has led to a request to add passport information.
This request arises from the need to group accessions by specific traits, while also having access to relevant information such as taxonomy, country of origin, altitude, among others. With such a comprehensive tool, our curators would be in a better position to provide the right material when a user requires assistance in accession selection. For example, they could easily identify accessions with red seeds, belonging to Phaseolus vulgaris, and growing at an altitude higher than 900 meters above sea level.
In addition, users could gain a better understanding of the characteristics of the genetic diversity conserved in the germplasm banks.
Currently, when selecting the Traits, I have observed that it is possible to activate other columns. I feel that it would be a valuable option to include the MCPD information in this way, to provide more data in a straightforward manner.
While this might seem like a way to replicate information, it is not practical for a user to have to download the MCPD information and then the filtered Traits information and then combine the files in Excel. Instead, providing all the information complete and first hand would significantly improve the user experience.
Additionally, an area of improvement would be the ability to specifically select a text string and all its derived combinations within the filters. For example, when filtering by the color red, other colors are currently included as well, since the seed color is composed of a primary, secondary, and tertiary color, separated by semicolons (;). It would be useful if the filters could allow a more specific selection of a given string and, in addition, its combinations (2-3 colors), to facilitate the search and selection of more precise characteristics.
look forward to your responses!
