Genometric Analysis Simulation Program (GASP)


 



Methods

    The simulation model is defined on the basis of a set of components specified by the user. Pseudo-random number generation, either from the provided module (PRNG) or from IMSL, if it is available, is used to model single-locus and polygenic inheritance, to generate other components, and (optionally) to determine sibship sizes. The genetic and other components are then combined into traits according to weights (proportions of total phenotypic variance) specified by the user. Models can be further customized by modifying traits in the driver.
