AlphaSimR is the successor to the AlphaSim software for breeding program simulation and a package for the R software environment. AlphaSimR builds on lessons learned from development of our previous software and the use of this software to perform simulations of breeding programs. The result is a software package this is both easy-to-use and flexible. This ease-of-use and flexibility provides users with the ability to simulate a wide range of complex plant and animal breeding programs.
AlphaPlantImpute is a software package designed for phasing and imputing genotype data in plant breeding populations. AlphaPlantImpute can be implemented within and across bi-parental populations to phase and impute focal individuals genotyped at low-density to high-density. Focal individuals can be descendants of a bi-parental cross at various levels of selfing or can be parents of one or more bi-parental populations. All information on the model of analysis, input files and their layout, is specified in a single parameter file.
