Seedling Select
Seedling Select v1 is a software tool to enable accurate and flexible cost estimation for marker-assisted seedling selection (MASS) in rosaceous tree fruit. Currently programmed in PythonTM, Seedling Select v1 can estimate seedling selection costs in various MASS schemes, compare the cost of MASS with TSS, and recommend cost-efficient schemes.
Seedling Select v1 takes inputs regarding traditional seedling selection (TSS) scheme, MASS scheme, seedling family structure, DNA test cost structure, and non-DNA test cost structure. Users fill out the input file using the template; upload the file in the link below and run Seedling Select v1.

Python will generate four files summarizing outputs
| File Name | Descriptoin |
|---|---|
| Output.csv | Summarizes selection schemes, family sizes and cost structures of MASS and TSS. |
| Family_Size.pdf | Graphically represents family size changes throughout MASS and TSS stages. |
| Population_Size.pdf | Graphically represents changes in total population size throughout MASS and TSS stages. |
| Cost_Comparison.pdf | Graphically compares cost in MASS and TSS. |
