PATRI – Paternity Analysis of Genetic Data

PATRI

:: DESCRIPTION

PATRI (PaTeRnity Inference) is a program for paternity analysis of genetic data. The program requires genotypic, diploid data from one or more loci from mother-offspring pairs and from potential fathers. Typical data might include microsatellite markers, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs) or Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Given such genotypic data, PATRI can calculate posterior probabilities of paternity for all sampled offspring. When behavioral or ecological information can be used to divide the sampled males into different groups, PATRI can perform maximum likelihood analyses of hypotheses regarding the relative reproductive success of those groups.
