Day 5 returned to topics of Day 1 by diving into Ancestral Recombination Graphs (ARGs), coalescent simulations, and fitting linear mixed models on tree structures, including our current experiences in working with ARGs in agricultural datasets.

This part used FieldSimR available at cran.r-project.org/package=Fiel... and GxE simulations desribed in doi.org/10.21203/rs....
February 12, 2024 at 4:37 AM
Day 4 dived into plant breeding trials, experimental design, spatial variation, genotype by environment (GxE) interactions, and how to simulate and model these sources of variation.
