Animal breeding is time-consuming, costly, and affected by stochastic events related to Mendelian genetics, fertility, and litter size. Careful planning is mandatory to ensure a successful outcome using the least number of animals, hence adhering to the 3Rs of animal welfare. We have developed an R package, accessible also through an interactive website, that optimizes breeding design and provides a comprehensive report suitable for any breeder of genetically defined traits.

Matching journals

The top 6 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
