My first📦R package, labradoR, is now out!

🐕 labradoR simplifies handling and post-processing outputs from the Retriever software, designed for population structure, inbreeding, and kinship analysis.

@apmweber Found one too in 2020. I was told it's the result of some red beet pollen that found its way to the seed production site for sugar beets, which are sold as F1 hybrid varieties.

@brunoCPrz @mariocalus Thank you 😊I am particularly proud of this one

New paper out: https://t.co/av4IYwI0WN
A method to predict variance of GEBV in any future generation + a new way to consider this variance in selection.
Together with Jan ten Napel and @mariocalus.

The Animal Breeding and Genetics course of @WUR will start next week. 📖 I created a new tool for this course: Multi-trait Selection Index. If you have any cool ideas or suggestions, let me know!💡 #wur_abg

@UPOVint This is an unfortunate example. Pod color and texture and monogenic traits i.e. can be fixed fast. Without too much thinking, a breeder will get the desired plant in gen 3. Addition: inflated and green are dominant -> displayed segregation ratio is wrong https://t.co/7odZcZevGz

WHOOP WHOOP!🥳the first paper of my PhD just got published. It's an extension of the usefulness criterion by considering variances not only of offspring but also offspring of offspring https://t.co/U1GdgR74Ji @tpook92 @YWientjes @mariocalus @Breed4Food #wur_abg

For teaching purposes, I have created two R Shiny apps to replace Excel Tools: 1) Estimating breeding values using BLUP, 2) Single trait selection index. I really enjoyed making these apps. Let me know what you think! #wur_abg

#Animals🐑| Sick animals behave differently from healthy ones. But how can you monitor animals’ behaviour during infectious disease trials without having to keep watch over them around the clock? @HarmenDoekes and his colleagues have found a solution!👉https://t.co/IJ1sGwSbCV
