FRANz: Fast Reconstruction of Wild Pedigrees

: 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.
