Abstract
PedigreeSim is software that generates simulated genetic marker data of individuals in diploid and polyploid pedigreed populations.
A population can consist of either diploid or polyploid individuals. PedigreeSim can simulate meioses with or without chiasma interference, and in polyploids it can simulate meioses with bivalents and/or quadrivalents per set of hom(oe)ologous chromosomes. Also varying probabilities of preferential versus random pairing of chromosomes can be simulated, allowing to simulate allo- as well as autopolyploids and intermediate forms. Unreduced gametes generated through first division restitution (FDR) or second division restitution (SDR) can also be simulated.
