# Overview
AlphaPart is a sophisticated R package for partitioning genetic trends ([Obšteter et al. 2021](https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-021-00600-x)), facilitating a deeper understanding of genetic gain in breeding programs. This method, rooted in the innovative works by [Garcia-Cortes et
al. (2008)](https://doi.org/10.1017/S175173110800205X) and recent advancements, allows breeders and researchers to dissect the contributions of various selection paths to overall genetic progress.

A software that implements a method for **partitioning genetic trends**
to quantify the sources of genetic gain in breeding programmes. The
partitioning method is described in [Garcia-Cortes et
al. (2008)](https://doi.org/10.1017/S175173110800205X). The package
includes the main function `AlphaPart` for partitioning breeding values
and auxiliary functions for manipulating data and summarizing,
visualizing, and saving outputs.
# Features

* Implements cutting-edge methods for partitioning both genetic means and variances.
* Includes functions for data manipulation, ensuring compatibility with diverse data sets.
* Offers advanced tools for visualizing genetic trends and partitioning results.
* Provides robust summarizing capabilities to interpret complex genetic data.

# New in This Version

* Incorporates recent methods for partitioning genetic variance, providing a more holistic view of breeding values ([Oliveira et al. 2022](https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-023-00804-3)).
* Improved algorithms for more accurate and insightful analysis of breeding programs.
* New visualization features for a more intuitive understanding of genetic trends.
