Pedigraph

Pedigraph generates detailed pedigree drawings to represent and analyze complex multi-generation inbreeding structures for genetic, genealogical, and breeding studies.


Key Features:

  • Artistic Graphical Representation: Pedigraph produces clear, high-quality graphical representations of pedigrees for large datasets spanning multiple generations.
  • Complex Inbreeding Structures: It handles complex inbreeding scenarios relevant to animal populations, plant breeding, and zoo species management.
  • Flexible Analysis Options: Provides a range of analysis options for exploring genetic relationships and inheritance modes.

Scientific Applications:

  • Genetic and Genomics Research: Supports genetics and genomics analyses to study disease inheritance patterns, trace detrimental genes, and identify population founders by visualizing gene flow across generations.
  • Genealogical and Historical Studies: Supports genealogy and historical population studies by visualizing relationships among individuals across generations.
  • Breeding Programs: Supports agricultural and zoological breeding program management by facilitating study of genetic diversity and inheritance in plants, animals, and managed populations.

Methodology:

Pedigraph employs advanced algorithms to render and analyze the complexity inherent in large, multi-generation pedigrees.
