Pedimap

Pedimap visualizes genotypic and phenotypic data within pedigrees to present marker scores, Identity-by-Descent (IBD) probabilities, marker linkage map positions, and haplotypes across related individuals.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive data visualization: Displays marker scores, Identity-by-Descent (IBD) probabilities, marker linkage map positions, and haplotypes across lineages.
• Phenotypic and genotypic integration: Associates phenotypic data with genotypic markers for joint visualization within pedigrees.
• Versatile pedigree support: Accommodates inheritance patterns including selfing, cloning, and repeated backcrossing and supports all ploidy levels.
• Data import and exchange: Imports data from text files and supports data compatibility with FlexQTL(TM) and GenomeStudio(TM).
• QTL allele probability support: Notes the identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) allele probabilities as an intended capability described in the input.

Scientific Applications:

• Plant breeding: Visualizes genetic and phenotypic relationships to inform breeding decisions and selection strategies.
• Genetics research: Facilitates exploration of patterns and associations between phenotypic traits and underlying genotypes.
• Inheritance analysis: Supports analysis of allele transmission and inheritance patterns across generations and ploidy levels.

Methodology:

Uses a graphical approach to present genetic data within pedigrees by visualizing transmission of alleles through generations, integrating phenotypic and genotypic data, and representing marker scores, IBD probabilities, and marker linkage map positions while supporting multiple inheritance patterns and ploidy levels.
