AlphaDrop beta – Simulating Sequence and SNP data, QTL effects, Pedigrees, and Breeding Values

AlphaDrop beta

:: DESCRIPTION

AlphaDrop is a very simple software package for simulating genomic selection or GWAS data. It simply drops simulated haplotypes through a pedigree. The haplotypes are simulated using MaCS (Chen et al., 2009). AlphaDrop can simulate sequence and SNP data, pedigrees, QTL effects, and breeding values. Pre-specified pedigrees can also be supplied.
