Abstract:
Genomic prediction models are showing their power to increase the rate of genetic gain by boosting all the elements of the breeder's equation. Insight into the factors associated with the successful implementation of this prediction model is increasing with time but the technology has reached a stage of acceptance. Most genomic prediction models require specialized computer packages based mainly on linear models and related methods. The number of computer packages has exploded in recent years given the interest in this technology. In this chapter, we explore the main computer packages available to fit these models; we also review the special features, strengths, and weaknesses of the methods behind the most popular computer packages.
