Linkage analysis software requires an input text file that describes the structure of the pedigrees to be analysed. Manual creation of these files is tedious and error-prone, and a graphical input tool is desirable. This is currently only available in commercial packages that include much greater functionality. We have therefore developed Pelican, a lightweight graphical pedigree editor for rapid construction of linkage pedigree files and diagrams.
