The BLUPF90 family of programs is a statistical software package used in quantitative genetics for animal and plant breeding. [1] [2] It can fit mixed models using restricted maximum likelihood as well as Gibbs sampling to estimate variance components, and predict breeding values via best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP).
