Animal Breeding & Genetics, Wageningen - Follow the software link to find SIP (Selection Index Program), MAGGIC (Gibbs Sampling) and GENEFLOW written for animal breeders. Free software for WIN.

Blocking Gibbs Sampling for Pedigree/Linkage Analysis - Two-point linkage analysis on large, complex pedigree structures employing Markov chain Monte Carlo method, Gibbs sampling, combined with exact local computations to establish gene linkage maps. DOS and UNIX freeware.

Pedigree Viewer - Unique display and examination tool for large pedigrees, with inbreeding and genetic merit data also. Free WIN program.

DESIRE - Explore possible selection outcomes when goals (desired gains) are set for traits. This free WIN program is also contained in GENUP.

DFREML - Meyer's variance component estimation software for animal breeding is free for research purposes, available for UNIX, DOS and FORTRAN source code.

Ignacy Misztal - Animal breeding oriented programs for sparse matrix multiple trait REML and BLUP. Fortran source is free for research use.

VCE - Groeneveld's Variance Component Estimation software was developed for animal breeding problems. WIN and UNIX versions are free for research use. PEST documentation is also available here.

Ivory Tower Software - Genetics and breeding simulation software allows students to breed virtual organisms with 2000 genes. The site gives access to a free demo version of the WIN program.

PIGBLUP and BREEDPLAN - Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit of University of New England, Australia have developed BLUP software for genetic selection of swine and beef cattle. Little information is on this site, so ABRI would have to be contacted.

Laboratory of Plant Breeding, Wageningen - Offers free downloadable genetics and plant breeding related software.

Genup - Free software to assist learning quantitative genetic concepts (animal breeding) for WIN.

Quantitative Genetics Resources - List of resources with links to programs and notes on a range of subjects including animal and plant breeding, and evolutionary and human genetics.
