In 1968, it was developed by Rothamsted Research in the United Kingdom, and is designed to provide modular design, linear mixed models[4] and graphic functions.[5] It is presently developed and distributed by VSN International (VSNi),[6] which is owned by The Numerical Algorithms Group and Rothamsted Research.

Genstat is used in a number of research areas, including plant science, forestry, animal science, and medicine,[3] and is recognized by several universities and businesses.
