We have published articles describing software that may help in some research areas. Rather than sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope with a disk to obtain the free software, you may prefer to open the text files below and save them into your favorite word processing program. The files can then be modified to fit your data, and run using SAS.
The programs are written for SAS, and are compatible with any computer system that can run SAS (Mac OS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows, OS/2, UNIX, MVS, CMS, VSE, and OpenVMS).
- SASGene 1.2 (updated 3 March 1999)
- SASGene is a SAS computer program for gene segregation and linkage analysis
- Consists of 3 files written in the SAS macro language and one file with an example
- Requires SAS version 6 or higher
- Does single gene goodness-of-fit testing, and analysis of gene linkage relationships
- Calculates Chi-square, probability value and two-locus-combined phase for all gene pairs in segregation for the F2, BC1P1 and BC1P2 generations
- SASGene developers
- Jinsheng S. Liu (Visiting Scientist (China), Horticultural Science)
- Todd C. Wehner (Professor, Horticultural Science)
- Sandy B. Donaghy (SAS Consultant, Statistics)
- Text versions of the SASGene files (SASGene 1.2 is the same as 1.1, except that linkage.sas was modified to correct a typographic error in the formula for calculating the SE for the F2 in coupling phase)
- PathSAS 1.0 (updated 16 Jan 1998)
- PathSAS is a SAS computer program for path analysis
- Consists of 3 files written in the SAS macro language and one file with an example; also includes the Jackboot program
- Requires SAS version 6 or higher
- PathSAS developers
- Christopher S. Cramer (Graduate Research Assistant, Horticultural Science)
- Todd C. Wehner (Professor, Horticultural Science)
- Sandy B. Donaghy (SAS Consultant, Statistics)
- Corrections needed for SAS 8 and later
- Change the variable name, intercep, to intercept. In the old version of SAS, variable names could only be 8 characters and SAS used the name intercep when it output datasets from PROC REG. In version 8, they changed the name of the variable to intercept since 9 characters are permitted.
- Text versions of the PathSAS files
- SASQuant 1.3 (updated 12 August 2008)
- SASQuant is a SAS computer program for analysis of quantitative genetic data
- Consists of 2 files written in the SAS macro language and one file with an example
- Requires SAS version 8 or higher
- Does quantitative genetic analysis of phenotypic data for populations (families) consisting of 6 generations (parents, F1, F2, BC1 to each parent)
- Estimates genetic effects (Wright, Hayman mean separation analysis), generation variances, heritabilities, gain from selection, and number of effective factors
- SASQuant developers
- Gabriele Gusmini (Graduate Assistant (Italy), Horticultural Science)
- Todd C. Wehner (Professor, Horticultural Science)
- Sandy B. Donaghy (SAS Consultant, Statistics)
- Files for the SASQuant files
