*Short course - Programming and computer algorithms in animal breeding with  focus on genomic selection and single-step GBLUP *

*May 13-30, Athens, GA*

**

*Week 1. May 13-16*

Introduction to programming in Fortran 95/2003

*Week 2. May 19-23*

Advanced programming in Fortran 95/2005

Computer algorithms useful in animal breeding

Efficient creation and solving of mixed model equations

Introduction to BLUPF90 family of programs

Design

Models (multiple trait, maternal, random regression, competition,...)

Advanced models (competition, threshold, censored,..)

Associated programs (renumf90, inbupg,..)

*Week 3. May 26 - 30 *

Data simulation (including genomics)

Data manipulation and scripts using Unix tools

SNP effects, genomic relationships and genomic recursions

GBLUP, GREML and G-GGIBBS

Single-step GBLUP (prediction + GWAS)

Computing with large number of genotypes

*Instructors*

Ignacy Misztal and Shogo Tsuruta (UGA), Andres Legarra and Zulma Vitezica  (France), Ignacio Aguilar (Uruguay)

*Attendance*

The course can be attended in full or partially. Those familiar with basics  of Fortran 95 can skip Week 1. Those familiar with the BLUPF90 software can  skip Week 2. Later part of Week 2 and Week 3 will involve very limited  programming and can thus be attended only by those interested in  application programs and genomic applications. The attendance in Weeks 1-2  is limited to 25 and in Week 3 is limited to 35. Those attending for 2-3  weeks will have priority.

*Prerequisites*

Participants are expected to be familiar with mixed model equations and  quantitative genetics. Familiarity with Linux / Unix environments a plus.
Knowledge of programming in any programming language a strong plus.

*Fees *

The fees will be the same regardless of the number of weeks attended.

Industry - $1000, Academic - $600, Graduate student - $300

Graduate student enrolled in U.S. University or College, with status  confirmed by Dr. Ron Lewis (rmlewis@vt.edu ) following registration -- no  fee.

Application deadline April 6. Email Susan Bradley (susanb@uga.edu).

*Credit *

Formal credit is possible for graduate students from the Southern Teaching  Consortium. Please ask for details.

*Logistics *

The closest airport to Athens is in Atlanta. A local hotel provides  accommodation at < $200/week. Detailed information will be available later  at http://nce.ads.uga.edu/~ignacy/course.html
