Getting Started Guide

Welcome to the MateSel Getting Started guide. Some MateSel and Breeding Program concepts can be complex, so we have put together a set of learning resources that we hope will help you get the most out of MateSel and discover new insights into your breeding program.

The getting started guide will provide an overview of the Frontier, Optimal Contributions Selection (OCS), Managing Traits, and Managing Progeny Inbreeding. These are the core MateSel features. You can then explore some of the more advanced features including Multiple End Uses, Mixed Mating Groups, and other features as listed in the left-hand side of screen.

You can start with the General Introduction video below and refer back to MateSel Docs to explore more learning content. If you have already seen this video, check out the “Getting Started” video linked from the next page “Installing MateSel”.
