PyPedal: A computer program for pedigree analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
PyPedal is a pedigree analysis package that provides tools for error checking, mathematical analysis, report generation, pedigree simulation, and data visualization. A number of measures of genetic variability are provided, including coefficients of inbreeding and relationship, effective founder and ancestor numbers, and founder genome equivalents. Routines are also included for identifying ancestors and descendants, computing coefficients of inbreeding from potential matings, quantifying pedigree completeness, visualizing pedigrees, and producing high-quality printed reports. In addition, a module is provided for applying graph theoretic tools to pedigrees. Input and output files utilize plain-text formats, and printed reports are rendered as Adobe PDF files. Users can easily write programs for automating analyses as well as create new reports. PyPedal has been validated using dairy cattle and working dog pedigrees. It is written in the Python programming language and operates on a number of operating systems, including GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. The program is free of charge; code, documentation, and examples of usage are available at http://pypedal.sourceforge.net/. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Whole genome Identity-by-Descent determination
High-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping assays conveniently produce genotype data for genome-wide genetic linkage and association studies. For pedigree datasets, the unphased genotype data is used to infer the haplotypes for individuals, according to Mendelian inheritance rules. Linkage studies can then locate putative chromosomal regions based on the haplotype allele sharing ...
متن کاملHAPLORE: a program for haplotype reconstruction in general pedigrees without recombination
MOTIVATION Haplotype reconstruction is an essential step in genetic linkage and association studies. Although many methods have been developed to estimate haplotype frequencies and reconstruct haplotypes for a sample of unrelated individuals, haplotype reconstruction in large pedigrees with a large number of genetic markers remains a challenging problem. METHODS We have developed an efficient...
