About ASReml

ASReml is a suite of statistical software for fitting linear mixed models using Residual Maximum Likelihood (REML).

ASReml is a specialized statistical software suite from VSN International, focused on fitting linear mixed models using the REML (Residual Maximum Likelihood) method. It is a key tool for researchers, statisticians, and data scientists, particularly in genetics, agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture. The software is available in several forms: ASReml-SA (a standalone version), ASReml-R (an R package), and ASReml-Python (a new beta package), allowing integration into various analytical workflows. Its core strength lies in handling large, complex datasets to estimate variance components and predict breeding values, making it essential for modern breeding programs. While pricing is not publicly listed and requires a quote, the company offers trials and support through a contact form. The software is designed for technical users and is complemented by other VSNi products for a comprehensive research pipeline.
