acoRn: Exclusion-Based Parentage Assignment Using Multilocus Genotype Data

Exclusion-based parentage assignment is essential for studies in biodiversity conservation and breeding programs - Kang Huang, Rui Mi, Derek W Dunn, Tongcheng Wang, Baoguo Li, (2018), <doi:10.1534/genetics.118.301592>. The tool compares multilocus genotype data of potential parents and offspring, identifying likely parentage relationships while accounting for genotyping errors, missing data, and duplicate genotypes. 'acoRn' includes two algorithms: one generates synthetic genotype data based on user-defined parameters, while the other analyzes existing genotype data to identify parentage patterns. The package is versatile, applicable to diverse organisms, and offers clear visual outputs, making it a valuable resource for researchers.
