FRANz: Fast Reconstruction of Wild Pedigrees
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a software package for fast pedigree reconstruction in natural populations using co-dominant genomic markers such as microsatellites and SNPs. If available, the algorithm makes use of prior information such as known relationships (sub-pedigrees) or the age and sex of individuals. Statistical confidence is estimated by a simulation of the sampling process. The parentage inference is robust even in the presence of genotyping errors.

FRANz: reconstruction of wild multi-generation pedigrees
SUMMARY We present a software package for pedigree reconstruction in natural populations using co-dominant genomic markers such as microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). If available, the algorithm makes use of prior information such as known relationships (sub-pedigrees) or the age and sex of individuals. Statistical confidence is estimated by Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCM...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood pedigree reconstruction using integer programming
Abstract Pedigrees are ‘family trees’ relating groups of individuals which can usefully be seen as Bayesian networks. The problem of finding a maximum likelihood pedigree from genotypic data is encoded as an integer linear programming problem. Two methods of ensuring that pedigrees are acyclic are considered. Results on obtaining maximum likelihood pedigrees relating 20, 46 and 59 individuals a...
متن کاملReconstruction of pedigrees in clonal plant populations.
We present a Bayesian method for the reconstruction of pedigrees in clonal populations using co-dominant genomic markers such as microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The accuracy of the algorithm is demonstrated for simulated data. We show that the joint estimation of parameters of interest such as the rate of self-fertilization is possible with high accuracy even with ma...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
متن کاملCombinatorics of Pedigrees I: Counterexamples to a Reconstruction Question
A pedigree is a directed graph in which each vertex (except the founder vertices) has two parents. The main result in this paper is a construction of an infinite family of counter examples to a reconstruction problem on pedigrees, thus negatively answering a question of Steel and Hein. Some positive reconstruction results are also presented. The problem of counting distinct (mutually non-isomor...
