Abstract Text:

A system is presented supporting quality control in breeding programs with the four subsystems GEpipe, OptBS, webLOAD/LOAD, and PopRep. GEpipe is based on the standard inputs and outputs of mixed model genetic evaluation runs. Checking of pedigrees is performed together with plausibility checks of BLUE . Aggregate genotypes can be defined. All solutions to the MME are published in an automatically created web site for interactive browsing by breeders. OptBS deals with optimization of breeding programs. WebLOAD enables cleaning of heterogeneous datasets even if different animal ID systems. PopRep performs extensive analyses based on pedigrees such as generation intervals, rates of inbreeding and effective population sizes. The software is provided as an Open Source virtual appliance which can be run on both Linux and Windows. No software installation is required. Interaction with all software in the appliance is through the web browser.
