The workshop is aimed primarily at forest tree breeders. This will be a moderately advanced-level workshop. The participants are expected to have some understanding of mixed model theory and some familiarity with basic ASReml syntax. The course is structured around 4 x 1.5 hour sessions per day, most with 30 minutes of lectures and 1 hour of practical sessions in groups of 2-4 using ASReml and some supporting software.

Course Topic Included:

• Variance/Covariance Matrices Additive Genetic effects and Breeding values
• Complex Additive and Dominance models
• Spatial Analysis
• Variance-covariance modelling of multi-environment trials
• Multivariate analysis
