TLDR

BGF90 is a Fortran 90 software collection designed for breeding and genetics applications. The package includes library modules with overloading and optional parameters, and application programs that avoid low-level optimization yet support diverse models such as multiple‑correlated effects, multiple animal models, dominance, and extensibility.

Abstract

COMPUTING METHODS BGF90 is a collection of software in Fortran 90 useful for breeding & genetics applications. The package consists of library modules and application programs. The modules are designed with overloading and optional parameters so that their use is simple. Whenever applicable, the modules use well-tested low-level software in Fortran 77 or Fortran 90. The application programs deliberately avoid low-level optimization for simplicity but support a wide range of models, including those with multiple-correlated effects, multiple animal models and dominance, and they can be modified to support new features. For general description of the package, see Misztal (1999).
