2 What is NRSP10? Na%onal Research Support Project Research that is deemed na%onal in scope that fulfills an unmet na%onal research need Requires par%cipa%on by scien%sts from a large majority of US Land Grant Universi%es Agricultural Experiment Sta%ons NRSP10 is only one of 10 projects approved in the last 100 years

3 NRSP 10 Vision Enable basic, transla%onal and applied crop research by expanding exis%ng online community databases for underserved crops mostly specialty crops Provide a comprehensive open-source, flexible, resource-efficient database solu%on Tripal Develop a model for long term sustainability of community databases Stakeholder driven and supported

4 Integrated Data Facilitates Discovery! Basic Science Structure and evolu%on of genomes Gene func%on Gene%c variability Mechanism underlying traits Diversity Genomics Integrated Data & Tools Breeding Genetics Germplasm TranslaRonal Science Trait discovery Marker development Gene%c mapping Breeding values Applied Science U%liza%on of DNA informa%on in breeding decisions

5 Community Databases Increasingly Important Recent advances in sequencing, genotyping, and phenotyping technologies have led to a paradigm shir in crop science research Big Data driven Individual scienrsts now rournely Sequence and genotype genomes from popula%ons, families, individuals of interest Pursue large-scale gene expression studies Create highly saturated gene%c maps Iden%fy genome wide loci influencing traits of interest Conduct large-scale standardized phenotyping.

6 The Challenge To con%nue to provide high-quality online community database resources for Rosaceae, Citrus, CoYon, Cool Season Food Legumes and Vaccinium crops databases that are: Easy to use Easy to manage and update Scalable and fast Resource efficient U%lize a common, interoperable pla\orm Self-sustaining in the medium term Easy to adopt for other underserved crops

7 Database SoluRon Content Management System Drupal modules as web front-end for Chado Chado Generic Database schema

9 NRSP 10 Specific ObjecRves 1. Expand online community databases currently housing high quality genomic, gene%c and breeding data for Rosacaeae, citrus, coyon, cool season food legumes and Vaccinium crops 2. Develop/Implement a tablet applica%on to collect phenotypic data from field and laboratory studies improve efficiency of data collec%on and ease of upload to breeding programs 3. Develop a Tripal Applica%on Programming Interface for building breeding databases connect private breeding databases with public genomics, gene%cs and breeding data 4. Convert GenSAS, a comprehensive online community genome annota%on and cura%on tool, to Tripal 5. Develop Web Services to promote database interoperability

10 NRSP10 Crops are Economically Important $3.4 B $12.3 B $6.0 B $1.2 B $0.4 B NRSP10 Databases 2016 > 50,000 users from 160 countries, 500K + pages accessed

11 Support Highly engaged and suppor%ve user communi%es Con%nuous funding since (>$14M) o o USDA SCRI ($4.6M) , plus renewal poten%al USDA NRSP10 ($2M) , plus renewal poten%al o NSF PGRP ($4.6M) , o NSF DIBBS ($1.5 M) o Industry ($1.75M) o Land Grant Universi%es (salaries) o Community of developers working on open-source Tripal Database modules Use of an open-source, easy to manage generic database pla\orm helps reduce costs and eases concern by funding sources about database transferability and sustainability (to an extent). Significantly leverages co-development by Drupal and Tripal communi%es.

18 Data Host publicly available genomic, gene%c and breeding data for 25 crops Curate gene%cs and breeding data extracted from publica%ons use undergraduates with postdoc oversite of the data Analyze/add informa%on to certain types of genomic data - do not typically curate genomic data but would like to do so.

19 Tripal.info Use of an open-source, easy to manage system with good support in place

20 Breeding Information Management System View information on existing crosses Developing a comprehensive breeding information management system in Tripal, that combines the power of a secure breeding program-controlled system with seamless access to all the public genomics, genetics and breeding data available in the public side of the database
