2. Modern ag research programs generate a lot of data
Modern ag research programs generate a lot of data! Year after year after year……
“Big data” is high-volume, -velocity and -variety information assets that demand cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced insight and decision making.

3. What is GDR? Genome Database for Rosaceae
Community database for worldwide Rosaceae research community
GDR initiated in 2003 to
curate, house and integrate emerging Rosaceae genomics, genetics and breeding data
analyze complex data using high performance computing and distill into usable data for researchers
provide access to data mining tools
facilitate comparative genomics within the family
Model for generic database platform TRIPAL
Jim this is just a slide introducing GDR to the audience (many won’t be familiar with it) You can essentially just read this slide point by point or you can just relay some of this information when you show them the GDR home page slide

4. GDR Home Page www.rosaceae.org
Home page, maybe point out quick access points to crops of interest or popular features in the home page quick links sections

5. GDR Vision Part 1 Discovery Translation Application
Facilitate Rosaceae Research
Highly engaged community (research and industry)
Continuous funding since 2003
USDA SCRI ($4.6M), USDA NRSP10 ($2M)
NSF PGRP ($4.6M)
NSF DIBBS ($1.5 M)
Industry ($1.75M)
Land Grant Universities (salaries)
Excellent development and curation team
Essentially just read this, maybe say over $14M dollars between going toward development of the Tripal structure and data curation efforts

6. Private WABP Database in GDR
Example of Current Breeders Resources
Community Data QTLs/MLTs/Markers RosBREED and FruitBreedomics
WABP Private Data Crosses Phenotype Genotype
Published Data QTLs/MLTs Markers
Associated data

Private WABP Database in GDR
This indicates the current utility of GDR where breeders have access to their private data, seamlessly connected with all the curated public data. In the improved system we are building a comprehensive Breeding Information Management System that will allow breeders control and access of all their program data as well as statistical and analysis capability.
