Abstract
CGIAR CCAFS Seeds4Needs Germplasm Selection Tool
================================================
This is a germplasm selection software application based the further elaboration of an
R statistical application called "Explora" initial development for which was commissioned
to a software engineering consultant, Johann Ospina, by Maarten van Zonneveld (Bioversity-Costa Rica),
in collaboration with Jacob van Etten (also of Bioversity-Costa Rica) who leads the Bioversity
"Seeds4Needs" project funded under the Climate Change (CCAFS) CGIAR Research Programme.
Conversion of the software to a full R statistical package and some additional user interface
refinements were undertaken in 2014 by Dr. Richard Bruskiewich of
[Crop / STAR Informatics, Canada](http://www.starinformatics.com).
Detailed instructions for installation of the Explora package are available on the
main Github project wiki at https://github.com/bioversity/germplasm-selection-tool/wiki.
Unofficial scientific publication about Explora (in preparation by Maarten):
van Zonneveld M, Ospina J, Petz M, Meckelmann S, Rios L, Libreros D, Ramirez M.
"Explora: a multiple-trait selection tool to identify promising
crop germplasm for food security and high-value product development”.
