The PhyloMap can generate elegant visualizations for large sequence data sets up to thousands of taxon require only a relatively short computation time. It can give you an overview of your entire data set, and automatically select a small number of sequences which are evenly sampled across your data set. You can build a phylogenetic tree using the sampling sequences and use it as a reference data set for further studies. The PhyloMap also shows you the relationships between the sampled data set with the entire data set.
SIMLAPLOT is a software for visualizing different ways in which continuous covariates may influence the genotype-specific risk for complex human diseases. The purpose of our study was to examine continuous covariates in the Genetic Analysis Workshop 15 simulated data set using our novel graphical display tool, with knowledge of the answers. The generated plots provide information about genetic models for the simulated continuous covariates and may help identify the single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the underlying quantitative trait loci.
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!
ML-Relate is a computer program that calculates maximum likelihood estimates of relatedness and relationship. ML-Relate is designed for microsatellite data, and can accommodate null alleles. It uses simulation to perform two types of hypothesis tests.
CompClust is a python package written using the pyMLX and IPlot APIs. It provides software tools to explore and quantify relationships between clustering results. Its development has been largely built around needs of microarray data analysis but could be easily used in other domains.
RELPAIR is a FORTRAN 77 program that infers the relationships of pairs of individuals based on genetic marker data, either within families or across an entire sample.
