Description

A paper produced in the frame of the H2020 project 677353 'Innovative Management of Animal GEnetic resources'

This paper describes a new software to simulate animal breeding programs, named 'Modular Breeding Program Simulator' (MoBPS). The R-package MoBPS provides a computationally efficient and flexible framework to simulate complex breeding programs and compare their economic and genetic impact. It can be used to evaluate the use of genetic material from gene banks.

Notes

An executable version of MoBPS and the associated R-packages miraculix (Schlather 2020), RandomFieldsUtils (Schlather et al. 2019) and MoBPSmaps (Pook 2019) for Windows and Linux are freely available at https://github.com/tpook92/MoBPS. This directory also contains an comprehensive user manual
