Software:
The software MOLCOANC (version 3) and its manual can be downloaded from the webpage of Jesús Fernández (INIA, Madrid), in the "software" section.
MOLCOANC reconstructs pedigrees from molecular data of contemporaneous individuals using a simulated annealing algorithm. It involves explicit reconstruction of genealogies. This approach does not require knowledge of the allelic frequencies and does not assume Hardy-Weinberg or linkage equilibrium.
MOLCOANC implements the algorithm by Fernández & Toro (Molecular Ecology 2006. 15: 1657-1667) and the modifications by Cros & al (2014), which make it suitable for plant species and more flexible.
