Trials

Our Trials module facilitates efficient management and analysis of trial data across multiple platforms, including computer and mobile browsers, as well as iOS devices. It features real-time data collection, automated image phenotyping, and drone analysis, standardizing performance metrics for advanced analytics and machine learning models. Coming soon to SeedNexus Trials: AI predictions and a dedicated Android app.

Genome

The Genome module further enhances SeedNexus by equipping researchers with advanced tools for genomic analysis, enabling data-driven breeding decisions. It provides detailed exploration of seed lines at the chromosomal level. Users can identify key genetic markers, develop testable hypotheses, and gain deeper insights into genetic relationships through a pedigree tree.

Benefits

Why Choose SeedNexus for Comprehensive Data Management?

Managing seed breeding data effectively is crucial for successful research and development. While traditional tools like spreadsheets or basic data collection software offer foundational functionalities, they fall short in providing a holistic, integrated approach. SeedNexus stands out by offering a modular, fully integrated system that not only centralizes data but also enhances it with advanced analytics and real-time collaboration capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! SeedNexus provides a convenient excel template to fill out. This template allows you to specify any categorical filters you may have for your data.

SeedNexus offers a service that can assist you with cleaning up and uploading old data. For a small charge we will be happy to assist you.

Yes! Using SeedNexus’ convenient phenotype upload template, you can easily align your data and upload your past data.

Yes! Utilizing external collaborators to test lines in areas where it’s not feasible for you to visit often to collect data is a common occurrence. We have designed SeedNexus so you control the access that an external collaborator has and can view their observations as they are taken with the trials system. If you need more users, feel free to upgrade your subscription to the next tier!

Using your iOS device, download the SeedNexus Trials module from the App Store. Log in while you have cellular or Wifi service to load all of the farm and trait data. Then you can go collect your data offline. Once you have completed and returned to cellular or Wifi service, you can tap the upload data button to begin the upload process.

We are currently developing an Artificial Intelligence system that will be specific to each SeedNexus account. The goal of this system is to augment your breeding efforts by using your own data. The data you enter will not be accessible to others outside of your organization and we will not use your data to train any generalized models or for any other purposes.
On the browser version of the Home or Trials modules, select the resources tab on the sidebar, and then click on “Request a Feature” or “Report a Bug.” Fill out the form and click submit.
