Highly Interactive Data Analysis Platform (HIDAP) software - Open source tool for breeding

The software HIDAP supports clonal crop breeders at the International Potato Center (CIP). HIDAP stands for ‘Highly Interactive Data Analysis Platform’. It is part of on-going in-house efforts to unify best practices. The practices include data collection, data quality and data analysis in clonal crop breeding. Furthermore, HIDAP builds on the former in-house tools DataCollector (DC) and CloneSelector (CS). These tools supported potato and sweetpotato breeding, respectively. HIDAP improves on prior features like data quality checks. It adds new features to support open access. The new features include linkage with corporate and community databases. They include CIP-BioMart and Sweetpotatobase, the latter via the Breeding API (BrAPI). HIDAP is part of The Global Trial Data Management System suite of tools at CIP. HIDAP was developed by the Genetics, Genomic and Crop Improvement Sciences Division (GGCI) and the Research Informatics Unit (RIU) from CIP.
