Abstract:The increasing use of genomic selection (GS) in plant and animal breeding programs has led to the development of software that fits models based on unique scenarios. Accordingly, several R packages have been developed for GS. The lmekin function from the coxme R package was one of the first functions implemented in R to fit models with random family effects using the pedigree–based relationship matrix. The function allows the user to provide the covariance structures for the random effects; thus, the GBLUP mod… Show more
