Cervus Description

Establish parent-offspring relationships between genetic material samples. Run an analysis of genetic markers like microsatellites (STRs) and SNPs. Check allele frequencies, simulation of parentage, parentage testing, and identity. Verify paternity, maternity or parent pairs. Cervus is a computer program for assignment of parents to their offspring using genetic markers. Cervus uses likelihood, a well-established statistical method for parentage analysis, to assign parentage. Cervus introduces two key enhancements to this process: 1) Likelihood ratios are calculated allowing for the possibility that the genotypes of parents and offspring may be mistyped. 2) Cervus determines via simulation the level of confidence in the parentages it assigns. P.S. Cervus is free for non-commercial use only. A licence fee is payable for commercial use.
