RelativeFinder 20100813 – Check Relationships between pairs of Individuals

RelativeFinder 20100813

:: DESCRIPTION

relativeFinder is a program for checking relationships between pairs of individuals. There are many excellent programs that carry out similar tasks. Some of the unique features in relativeFinder are the batch mode options, that allow large jobs to be divided into many smaller jobs (suitable for deployment on a compute cluster environment), and the flexibility of the underlying Merlin engine, which allows relative finder to handle large pedigrees and consider a variety of alternate relationships — including potential relationships specified by the user on the fly!

ExomePicks 20100412 – Suggest Individuals to be Sequenced in a Large Pedigree

ExomePicks 20100412

:: DESCRIPTION

ExomePicks is a program that suggests individuals to be sequenced in a large pedigree. ExomePicks assumes that a genotyping chip or another cost effective means will be used to determine IBD sharing in the pedigree and that, subsequently, one would like to sequence a minimal number of individuals and use their sequences together with IBD information to deduce the sequence of other individuals in the pedigree. We are currently using it in the context of whole exome and whole genome sequencing studies to pick individuals to be sequenced from large family collections.
