Software for genetic analysis

POPASSIGN: a program for population, relatedness and parentage analysis using microsatellite data

Developed by Stephan M Funk, Nature & Heritage, 2002-2006

Currently, the programme is in version 5B for MAC OS X

A manual will be provided shortly.

The program expects data in the form aof a tab-delimited file. Microsatellite alleles are coded by allele sizes in bp. One column for each locus with alleles seperated by a space. Individual names and population names are optional but strongly suggested. The progra, guides you through all steps.

Installation: Mount the disk image. It contains three files: the program, a helper file (INTFILE), and a sample genotype file. Save them all into a specific folder on your hard disk. Just double click PopAssign5b.
