The document summarizes a NextGen Cassava workshop held at IITA Ibadan in October 2016. The workshop aimed to train attendees in using Cassavabase for cassava breeding data management and analysis. Over two days, participants learned how to search and manage data, design trials, record phenotypes using Fieldbook, analyze data, and utilize genomic selection and crossing tools. Hands-on exercises helped attendees practice the various Cassavabase functions. Support was provided for using the tool and participants received homework assignments.
2. Outline
#General objectives:
-> Train attendees in the use Cassavabase and its breeding management functionalities
(data loading, data visualization and analysis) through realistic, hands-on examples.
-> Interact on an individual/group basis with breeders and scientist.
#Audience:
Group 1: trial managers and data collection teams
Group 2: data curators and analyst
Group 3: PhD student and scientists
Group4: Breeders and NextGen staff

4. Overview Cassavabase:
-> Roundtrip trial management components (i.e. search tools, list manager, upload and
download data with Field book)
-> Provide updates on new components.
Objectives
Day 1
Explore the different analysis available:
-> Selection index
-> Genomic selection (SolGS): Create training data, build prediction models, predict
breeding values of selection candidates.
-> Assess phenotype and genotype data quality used in modeling using univariate and
bivariate tools and evaluate accuracy of models. Decision support tools.
