Austin Putz
Pipe-friendly breeding program simulation backed by DuckDB. Real dates instead of generations, custom tables and columns, simulations larger than RAM. Alpha; API settling toward 1.0.
Simulation Software
Tools for simulating breeding programs and genetic processes
Chris Gaynor (Bayer), originally John Hickey (Roslin)
Part of Alpha Suite. Simulates breeding programs with high flexibility. R package implementation.
Torsten Pook (Wageningen)
Very much in development at Wageningen. Modular breeding program simulator with R interface.
Mehdi Sargolzaei (Guelph)
Still very good software, but development has stopped. Most people have turned to AlphaSimR or MoBPS.
Stochastic simulation program for animal breeding.
