QuickPed: an online tool for drawing pedigrees and analysing relatedness.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ubiquity of pedigrees in many scientific areas calls for versatile and user-friendly software. Previously published online pedigree tools have limited support for complex pedigrees and do not provide analysis of relatedness between pedigree members.

Results

We introduce QuickPed, a web application for interactive pedigree creation and analysis. It supports complex inbreeding and comes with a rich built-in library of common and interesting pedigrees. The program calculates all standard coefficients of relatedness, including inbreeding, kinship and identity coefficients, and offers specialised plots for visualising relatedness. It also implements a novel algorithm for describing pairwise relationships in words.

Conclusion

QuickPed is a user-friendly pedig
