ccChooser (version 0.2.6)
Developing a core collections
Description
ccChooser can be used to developing and evaluation of core
collections for germplasm collections (entire collection). This
package used to develop a core collection for biological
resources like genbanks. A core collection is defined as a
sample of accessions that represent, with the lowest possible
level of redundancy, the genetic diversity (the richness of
gene or genotype categories) of the entire collection. The
establishing a core collection that represents genetic
diversity of the entire collection with minimum loss of its
original diversity and minimum redundancies is an important
problem for gene-banks curators and crop breeders. ccChooser
establish core collection base on phenotypic data (agronomic,
morphological, phenological).
