Provides programmes in the area of animal breeding including SIP (Selection Index Program), MAGGIC (Gibbs Sampling) and GENEFLOW. Free software for WIN.

Statistical software designed for fitting mixed models for large datasets. Contains commented code for univariate and multivariate analysis including longitudinal and spatial analysis. Emphasis towards tree breeding.

Explore possible selection outcomes when goals (desired gains) are set for traits. This free WIN program is also contained in GENUP.

Meyer's variance component estimation software for animal breeding is free for research purposes, available for UNIX, DOS and FORTRAN source code.

Links to population and quantitative genetic software of interest in tree improvement, but also useful in other species.

This Virginia, USA company provides software (GeneFlow, SynerGene, QTLlocate) and services oriented towards plant breeding. Website does not give prices or operating systems supported.

Free software to assist learning quantitative genetic concepts (animal breeding) for WIN.

Access to MQTL (simplified composite QTL mapping), MSIM and GREGOR (genetic simulation) and KIN (kinship coefficients). DOS, UNIX and PASCAL source code is free. From McGill University .

Animal breeding oriented programs for sparse matrix multiple trait REML and BLUP. Fortran source is free for research use.

Genetics and breeding simulation software allows students to breed virtual organisms with 2000 genes. The site gives access to a free demo version of the WIN program.

Offers free downloadable genetics and plant breeding related software.

Unique display and examination tool for large pedigrees, with inbreeding and genetic merit data also. Free WIN program.

Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit of University of New England, Australia have developed BLUP software for genetic selection of swine and beef cattle. Little information is on this site, so ABRI would have to be contacted.

List of resources with links to programs and notes on a range of subjects including animal and plant breeding, and evolutionary and human genetics.

Extended and reverse pedigrees, inbreeding coefficients and genetic inheritance capabilities for Win and Mac. Download a demo or order online.
