Welcome to DMU’s documentation!

DMU is a software packaged for analyzing multivariate linear mixed models.

Development of the DMU software started in the late 1980’s at the cattle genetic group, the National Institute of Animal Science. After several reorganization and merging, this group is now part of Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG), Faculty of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University.

The DMU software is distributed as a executable, and is free of charge for research purpose, but the use should be acknowledged in publications by reference to this manual. For commercial use (i.e. routine genetic evaluation) contact QGG for terms of conditions.

Note

DMU is under active development.
