Pedigree Validation and Breed/Line Composition Estimation for Diploid and Polyploid Species

BIGpopA is an R package developed by Breeding Insight that provides tools for pedigree quality control and genomic breed/line composition estimation in diploid and polyploid breeding populations. It is designed to help researchers and breeders identify pedigree errors, assign parentage from SNP genotype data, and estimate genome-wide breed or line composition.
