Group size planning of breedings of gene-modified animals
biorxiv(2021)
Abstract
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.
