SelectionTools: Simulation and Data Analysis for Plant Breeders

Provides tools for simulation of plant breeding programs as described, for example, by Melchinger and Frisch (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00122-023-04446-3>, prediction of segregation variance (Osthushenrich, Frisch and Herzog (2017) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0188839>), genomic prediction (Hofheinz and Frisch (2014) <doi:10.1534/g3.113.010025>), linkage disequilibrium based haplotype construction, and planning of marker assisted back crossing programs. It provides an integrated framework for simulation and analysis of plant breeding programs.
