Analysis of experiments using ASReml-R, Chicago, 24/25th April

This workshop is aimed at scientist/practitioners that are interested in analyzing complex datasets by fitting linear mixed models, particularly users with experience in breeding programs and design and analysis of experiments. After the workshop the participants should be able to understand the use of ASReml and to analyze most biological experiment and particularly, study breeding trials for single or multiple sites or experiments. Participants should also be able to extract relevant genetic parameters and generate rankings of genotypes based on breeding value prediction to assist decisions in their genetic improvement programs. In addition, participants should be able to understand and perform genomic selection analysis using the methodology GBLUP in ASReml. If you are unable to attend please contact carey@vsni.co.uk to discuss further course and workshop opportunities.
