When conducting Genomic-Assisted Breeding in Sweetpotato we need:

1. High-throughput, precise, accurate and standardized phenotyping in multiple environments
2. Database to store and access genotypic, phenotypic and environment data
3. Analytical tools for trait analysis, rapid identification of markers from sequence data marker-trait associations and genomic selections (most of these tools have to be suitable for hexaploid and clonally propagated crops!)
