PopVar - Genomic Breeding Tools: Genetic Variance Prediction and Cross-Validation

The main attribute of 'PopVar' is the prediction of genetic variance in bi-parental populations, from which the package derives its name. 'PopVar' contains a set of functions that use phenotypic and genotypic data from a set of candidate parents to 1) predict the mean, genetic variance, and superior progeny value of all, or a defined set of pairwise bi-parental crosses, and 2) perform cross-validation to estimate genome-wide prediction accuracy of multiple statistical models. More details are available in Mohammadi, Tiede, and Smith (2015, <doi:10.2135/cropsci2015.01.0030>). A dataset 'think_barley.rda' is included for reference and examples.

qgshiny - A 'shiny' Application for Active Learning Instruction in Introductory Quantitative Genetics

A 'shiny' application for teaching introductory quantitative genetics and plant breeding through interactive simulations. The application relies on established plant breeding and quantitative genetic theory found in Falconer and Mackay (1996, ISBN:0582243025) and Bernardo (2010, ISBN:978-0972072427).
