In the last ten years, genotyping costs have dropped significantly, making feasible powerful new breeding approaches that can take advantage of the vast amounts of genomic data that have been generated. The Genomic Open-source Breeding Informatics Initiative (GOBII) is the first large-scale public-sector effort to provide an open-source solution for storing, querying, and applying analysis pipelines to high-density genotypic information. The GOBII system is comprised of a data warehouse (PostgreSQL, MonetDB, and HDF5), a web service layer with a BrAPI compliant RESTful API, and GUIs for loading and extracting data. Technologies and key features comprising the system will be presented.
