Blib is a multi-module simulation platform for genetics studies and intelligent breeding.

ABSTRACT: Simulation is an efficient approach for the investigation of theoretical and applied issues in population and quantitative genetics, and animal and plant breeding. In this study, we report a multi-module simulation platform called Blib, that is able to handle more complicated genetic effects and models than existing tools. Two derived data types are first defined in Blib, one to hold the required information on genetic models, and the other one to represent the genetics and breeding populations. A number of subroutines are then developed to perform specific tasks. Four case studies are present as examples to show the applications of Blib, i.e., genetic drift of multiple alleles in randomly mating populations, joint effects of neutral mutation and genetic drift, comparison of mass versus fa
