Lecturer and researcher focusing on quantitative genetics and animal breeding @ Wageningen University & Research
Wageningen, Nederland
Joined November 2011
Last year I started a blog for students that are working on their thesis (undergrad, grad, or postgraduate). And anything else I feel like writing about. Go check it out and let me know what you think :).

The Animal Breeding and Genetics course of @WUR will start next week. 📖 I created a new tool for this course: Multi-trait Selection Index. If you have any cool ideas or suggestions, let me know!💡 #wur_abg.

For teaching purposes, I have created two R Shiny apps to replace Excel Tools: 1) Estimating breeding values using BLUP, 2) Single trait selection index. I really enjoyed making these apps. Let me know what you think! #wur_abg.

Our review on genomic selection for crossbred performance is out! Most important conclusions? Information on the purebred-crossbred correlation is key, and genotyping crossbreds that are phenotyped is a good idea. @NWO_TTW @Breed4Food #wur_abg .
