Pedfiddler
full name:
Pedfiddler
version:
0.5 August 2005
descriptions:
This suite of seven programs can be used as a stand-alone extension of
the pedigree drawing facilities found in
the publicly available version of
Pedpack.
operating systems: Tested on Unix
(AlphaLinux, Linux, OSF1, and Solaris 2.7).
Windows version tested on Windows XP Home (Should work on all win32
platforms: Win 95 and better).
Eclipse
full name:
Error correcting likelihoods in pedigree structure estimation.
version:
1.1 (12/22/2003)
descriptions:
A set of three programs, preproc, eclipse2 and eclipse3 which
analyze genetic marker data for genotypic errors and pedigree errors.
Using a single preprocessing program (preproc), eclipse2 analyzes data
on pairs of individuals, and eclipse3 analyzes data jointly on trios.
PostScript and pdf documentation files are included.
