Grafgen: Design of Precision Graphical Genotypes (http://fhospital.free.fr/fred/work/servin/thesis/part2-servin_hospital.pdf), a computer program developed by Frederic Hospital’s group at INRA, France. Using marker data for a population, the program displays each individual’s allelic composition in a graphical format as an aid to selecting desirable genotypes.

MAS Wheat: Bringing Genomics to the Wheat Fields (http://maswheat.ucdavis.edu/). This is the web site for a USDA-funded project that seeks to translate genomic discoveries into practical protocols for MAS in wheat. Contains protocols for over 20 genes or markers associated with disease resistance, insect resistance, and grain quality.
