IITA 2021 Genomic Prediction and Mate Selection

• I recently (Aug 3, 2021) completed thorough testing to develop a protocol for genomic mate selection in NextGen Cassava and will implement it here for the first time in practice! Check here to see the implementation tests / code-base development documented.
• Subsequently, I have developed my entire code base into an R package genomicMateSelectR. The package is fully documented (in rough draft version), but doesn't yet include a tutorial / vignette.
• The IITA DArTseqLD report (DCas21_6038), which contains the GS C5 (i.e. progeny of crosses made in 2020, "TMS20F"), was recently (July 19, 2021) released.
• The imputations of DCas21_6038, genomic predictions and mate selection that follows will leverage genomicMateSelectR functions and will form the principal example of their use. Install it e.g. devtools::install_github("wolfemd/genomicMateSelectR", ref = 'master') .
