This paper introduces AlphaSimR, an R package for stochastic simulations of plant and
animal breeding programs. AlphaSimR is a highly flexible software package able to simulate …

This paper describes AlphaSim, a software package for simulating plant and animal
breeding programs. AlphaSim enables the simulation of multiple aspects of breeding …

ADAM is a computer program that models selective breeding schemes for animals using
stochastic simulation. The program simulates a population of animals and traces the genetic …

The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the Hybrid‐Maize software (www.
hybridmaize. unl. edu, verified 28 Feb. 2006), with emphasis on its practical applications …

Many theoretical problems in population and quantitative genetics are impossible to solve
analytically, so many workers in the area, of whom Dr. Crosby was one of the first, have …

Breeding strategies used by plant breeders are many and varied, making it difficult to
compare efficiencies of different breeding strategies through field experimentation. The …

Computer simulation models of the growth, development, and yield of annual crops can
produce large quantities of data, especially if a simulation experiment involves many …

Abstract The software Selegen-REML/BLUP uses mixed models, and was developed to
optimize the routine of plant breeding programs. It addresses the following plants categories …

We wrote this book to fill the gap between textbooks of quantitative genetic theory and
software manuals that provide details on analytical methods but little context or perspective …

This software package provides an R-based framework to make use of multi-core computers
when running analyses in the population genetics program STRUCTURE. It is especially …
