Open-source software

Tools the whole community can build on.

We turn methods into open software so that discovery scales beyond our own bench. Our tools are used on more than 2,000 species by breeding programs and research groups worldwide.

Practical Haplotype Graph

A pangenome database and imputation framework that represents diversity as haplotypes, making low-cost sequencing usable for genomic prediction and breeding.

TASSEL

The long-standing workhorse for association mapping of complex traits in diverse samples — GWAS, GLM/MLM, and data handling for large genotype sets.

rTASSEL

An R interface to TASSEL, bringing its association and linkage-disequilibrium engine into reproducible R workflows and pipelines.

PlantCAD

PlantCAD

A DNA foundation model that reads genomic sequence across flowering plants — scoring evolutionary conservation and functional signal straight from DNA. PlantCAD2 spans 65 angiosperm genomes.

GeneCAD

GeneCAD

Genome annotation with a DNA foundation model — predicting gene structure directly from sequence, without costly transcriptomic evidence, and generalizing beyond plants to animal genomes.

GAPIT

Genome Association and Prediction Integrated Tool — a widely used R package for GWAS and genomic selection with a broad menu of statistical models.

BK

BioKotlin

A high-performance Kotlin library for computational biology, giving modern, expressive building blocks for genomic data structures and pipelines.

AnchorWave

AnchorWave

Sensitive whole-genome alignment anchored on conserved genes — built for the deep structural diversity between plant genomes.
