abstract: The successor to the 'AlphaSim' software for breeding program simulation
  [Faux et al. (2016) <https://doi.org/10.3835/plantgenome2016.02.0013>]. Used for
  stochastic simulations of breeding programs to the level of DNA sequence for every
  individual. Contained is a wide range of functions for modeling common tasks in
  a breeding program, such as selection and crossing. These functions allow for constructing
  simulations of highly complex plant and animal breeding programs via scripting in
  the R software environment. Such simulations can be used to evaluate overall breeding
  program performance and conduct research into breeding program design, such as implementation
  of genomic selection. Included is the 'Markovian Coalescent Simulator' ('MaCS')
  for fast simulation of biallelic sequences according to a population demographic
  history [Chen et al. (2009) <https://doi.org/10.1101/gr.083634.108>].
