We wrote this book to fill the gap between textbooks of quantitative genetic theory and software manuals that provide details on quantitative genetics analytical methods but little context or perspective on which methods may be most appropriate for particular applications. Fikret Isik-James Holland-Christian Maltecca (2017).

We are currently working on the second edition of the book, which will include new chapters and focus on R programming and ASReml-R<\/strong> for data analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE on using the Synbreed<\/strong> package for some chapters: <\/em>The synbreed package was archived in February 2020 due to the unavailability of one of its key dependencies, the regress package. However, you may still be able to run synbreed using R version 3.5 by manually downloading the synbreed package version 0.12-9.tar.gz from the provided link. https:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/src\/contrib\/Archive\/synbreed\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the exercises, use the following R script<\/a> to install the required packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the book (page xii), we mentioned “Installing packages from local source<\/strong>“. These are R packages that may not be loaded on CRAN.\u00a0 You may download the compressed files for Mac<\/strong> (GSa_1.0.tar.gz<\/a>) and for Windows<\/strong> (GSa_1.0.zip<\/a>) to install such packages for Chapter 12 (Genomic Selection). Before doing that please run the R code on page xi<\/a> first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may run the ASReml codes in the book using <\/strong>Echidna software<\/a>!
ASReml is a paid software. However, students from developing countries can obtain a free version from\u00a0VSNi<\/a>, the software’s license holder. Arthur Gilmour, the author of ASReml, has also developed a program called Echidna. This software is available for free to academic institutions and students. You can download Echidna<\/a> to execute all the ASReml codes mentioned in the book with just a few modifications to the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
