PidTools: Algorithm and web tools for crop pedigree identification analysis.

ABSTRACT: Crop pedigrees incorporate information on the kinship and genetic evolutionary history of breeding materials. Complete and accurate pedigree information is vital for effective genetic improvement of crops and maximal exploitation of heterosis in crop production. It is difficult for breeders to accurately extrapolate the selection of germplasm resources with missing genealogical information based on breeding experience. In this study, an algorithm called PidTools was developed, consisting of five sets of algorithms from three core modules, for accurate pedigree identification analysis. The algorithms and associated tools are suitable for all crops, for the reconstruction and visualization of a complete pedigree for breeding materials. The algorithm and tools were validated with the model cr
