create is a Windows program for the creation of new and conversion of existing data input files for 52 genetic data analysis software programs. Programs are grouped into areas of sibship reconstruction, parentage assignment, genetic data analysis, and specialized applications. create is able to read in data from text, Microsoft Excel and Access sources and allows the user to specify columns containing individual and population identifiers, birth and death data, sex data, relationship information, and spatial location data. create's only constraints on source data are that one individual is contained in one row, and the genotypic data is contiguous. create is available for download at http://www.lsc.usgs.gov/CAFL/Ecology/Software.html.
