TASSEL

Being designed using Java, TASSEL is a software utility whose purpose is to help you assess traits associations as well as linkage disequilibrium.

It is worth mentioning that the program is cross-platform, which means that, aside from Windows, it can also run on Mac OS and Unix.

The application should help you analyze crop genomic diversity, and for that, it presents you with a feature-packed user interface organized into four panels. As such, it groups the data set and results using the Data Tree at the top of the main window whereas the Report Panel is meant to provide you with various details on the data and creation of each selected data set.

Aside from that, it is worth mentioning that the progress of running tasks can be inspected using a dedicated panel, and last but not least, the Main Panel prompts you with the very content of a specific data set.

Studying evolutionary patterns, traits associations, as well as linkage disequilibrium should raise no difficulty whatsoever provided that you resort to TASSEL, considering that its set of features allows you to fully benefit from innovative statistical techniques. General Linear Model and Mixed Linear Model are supported, and aside from that, it is worth mentioning that a wide array of indels can be used.
