TGRM is a sophisticated mate selection system that maximises genetic gain while keeping inbreeding in check. It handles the complexities of modern genetic data: pedigree tangles, observed traits, gene-marker data, and beyond. Twenty-five years in the breeding industry, driven by the latest technology.
Give it a pedigree and whatever you know about your animals, EBVs, genomic breeding values, discrete gene markers, and TGRM works out which animals to mate with which. It lifts the traits you care about without quietly concentrating the gene pool, keeps carrier loci and allele targets under control, and shows you the trade-offs instead of hiding them. The science is well-established and kept current. All you need is data and a browser.
Parse pedigrees of any depth and shape. Compute inbreeding for every animal, coancestry for every potential pair, and the relationship submatrix for whichever candidates you're working with. Built to absorb genomic data as breeders adopt it.
Sweep the trade-off curve between genetic gain and population diversity. Pick exactly where you want to land and see precisely what it costs you, in inbreeding, in gain, in which sires actually contribute.
Solve the actual mating list, dam by dam, sire by sire, against your full set of constraints: per-sire usage limits, target sire counts, trait emphasis, progeny inbreeding avoidance, locus-level rules for carriers and allele frequencies.
X’Prime was founded in 2001 to put TGRM, developed at the University of New England, into the hands of breeders. The job is the same now as it was then: turn the complexity of modern breeding data into something a breeder can actually use. The data keeps changing; we keep up.
