R help - Nov 2007 - Packages for Animal Models & QG analyses

Hi,

 

I am looking to do some quantitative genetic analyses using animal models
and was wondering if someone could suggest an appropriate package in R.  It
would help if it was similar to the ASReml genetic analyses software.

 

Thanks,

See the R Genetics Task View.  I think kinship (which uses lme) and 
perhaps regress packages.  For data amenable to an ANOVA/hierarchical 
setup then lme4 as well (which does GLMMs nicely).  Have you tried Wombat 
(non-R)?
