GLOSSARY

Feature glossary

Plain-language definitions for every analysis module and export or queue capability.

GWAS, GWAS+ & GWAS-CC
Genome-wide association: baseline (GWAS), advanced with covariates & annotation (GWAS+), and case–control binary phenotypes (GWAS-CC).
Genomic Selection (GS, GS+, GBLUP)
Predict breeding values from genotypes. GS uses rrBLUP; GS+ adds kernel/Bayesian priors; GBLUP uses the genomic relationship matrix.
BLUES / BLUPs & Kinship matrix
Best linear unbiased estimates/predictions for field phenotypes plus realized kinship (GRM) computation.
Imputation & Variant Annotation
Impute missing genotypes against a reference panel and annotate variants with gene, consequence, and functional impact.
Comparative Genomics & Pangenome
Cross-genome synteny, orthologs, and core/accessory (PAV) analysis across a pangenome.
Yield, Stress & Breeding Lab AI
Applied ML pipelines for yield prediction, stress tolerance, and pedigree/genotype-based breeding decisions.
MET · PopGen · Structure · Field Trial
Multi-environment trials with G×E, population genetics (Fst, LD, diversity), ancestry/PCA structure, and field trial design.
Population Core (AMOVA · Mantel IBD · Ne)
Analysis of molecular variance, Mantel isolation-by-distance tests with permutation p-values, and LD-based effective population size (Ne) estimation.
GWAS Multi-locus (FarmCPU · MLMM)
Multi-locus association mapping: FarmCPU iterative fixed/random and MLMM stepwise selection with extended BIC.
GS Bayesian (BayesA · BayesB · BLASSO)
Bayesian genomic prediction via Gibbs sampling: BayesA, BayesB (with π), and Bayesian LASSO with cross-validation.
Diversity & Neutrality (π · θ · Tajima's D · Fay–Wu H · Fu–Li)
Nucleotide diversity π, Watterson's θ, Tajima's D, and unfolded Fay–Wu H / Fu–Li D & F when ancestral alleles are provided.
Deep Genomics · QG Lab · Trial Design · PRS
Fine-mapping (SuSiE), selection signatures, quantitative-genetics workbench, randomized trial layouts, and polygenic risk/merit scores.
Bioinformatics Toolkit (Ensembl, NCBI, KEGG)
Query external biological databases directly from the app: Ensembl gene lookups, NCBI records, KEGG pathways.
Advanced module extensions (ADE-GBLUP · FW · Smith–Hazel · Coloc-ABF · Cox-GWAS · Epistasis · LocusZoom · IM/CIM · Stratified HWE · π-windows)
Ten advanced analyses embedded directly into their host modules (gBLUP, MET, Multi-trait GS, Fine-map, GWAS+/ext, Deep Genomics, HWE/MAF, Diversity): additive+dominance+epistasis GBLUP variance, Finlay–Wilkinson G×E stability, Smith–Hazel selection index, Giambartolomei ABF colocalisation (PP0–PP4), Efron-equivalent Cox-PH survival GWAS, pairwise A×A epistasis with BH q-values, LocusZoom-style regional plots, IM/CIM QTL with Churchill–Doerge permutation thresholds, Wigginton exact + Fisher-combined stratified HWE with PLINK-style sex check, and sliding-window nucleotide diversity π with moving-block bootstrap CIs.
CSV export
Download raw tables (SNP hits, EBVs, QC stats) as CSV files.
PDF reports & printable summaries
One-click styled PDF reports with plots and result tables, ready to share.
ZIP export bundles (provenance + SHA-256)
Full result bundle: report.pdf, results.json, metadata.csv, dataset/pipeline IDs and SHA-256 integrity hashes for every file.
Experiments history & one-click re-run
Every run is saved with its parameters and inputs; re-run any experiment with a single click.
Async job queue with live progress
Heavy runs execute in a background queue; progress streams to the UI with retries on transient failures.
Reproducibility bundles
Signed export packages that capture inputs, parameters, versions, and outputs so any collaborator can reproduce the run.
Shared collections & notebook
Team-shared collections of datasets and results plus a collaborative lab notebook.
API access · webhooks · SDK · Bulk jobs
Programmatic REST access, outbound webhooks on job events, typed SDK, and bulk job submission.
SSO (SAML) & RBAC
SAML single sign-on with fine-grained role-based access control.
PDF report exports / mo
Number of standalone PDF report downloads permitted per month.
ZIP package exports / mo
Number of full ZIP result bundles (PDF + JSON + metadata + hashes) permitted per month.
Concurrent export jobs
How many export packages can be built in parallel by a single user.
Concurrent queued analyses
How many heavy analyses can run at once for your workspace.
Export job retention
How long completed export artifacts remain downloadable.
Job priority
Queue priority tier — higher tiers preempt lower-tier jobs during peak load.
Support SLA
Guaranteed first-response time for support tickets.
Audit log & retention
Immutable log of user and system actions with configurable retention.
Deployment
Where the platform runs — shared multi-tenant cloud or your own private/on-prem environment.
Uptime SLA
Contractual monthly uptime guarantee.
Projects
Distinct workspaces isolating datasets, runs, and members.
Team members
Seats included in the plan.
Storage
Total data at rest across datasets and result bundles.
Analysis runs / mo
Number of analysis jobs you can launch each month.
Max upload size
Largest single file the uploader accepts (resumable on higher tiers).
