AFEchidna is a R package for genetic evaluation of plant and animal breeding datasets

Progeny tests play important roles in plant and animal breeding programs,and mixed linear models are usually performed to estimate variance components of random effects,estimate the fixed effects(Best Linear Unbiased Estimates,BLUEs)and predict the random effects(Best Linear Unbiased Predictions,BLUPs)via restricted maximum likehood(REML)methods in progeny test datasets.The current pioneer software for genetic assessment is ASReml,but it is commercial and ex…查看全部>>
