Pedigree and Epidemiological data management

  • Personal Ancestral File (PAF) – freely downloadable pedigree filing software: “PAF was developed by the LDS Church and is extensively used by genealogists for filing family and ancestral information. It exports and imports standard GED format which is compatible with various clinical and genealogical programs. It is very valuable for information keeping where extended tracing of families is being undertaken and is therefore widely used by private individuals interested in their own families as well as having utility for genetics researchers undertaking similar tasks.” – http://www.familysearch.org/eng/paf/

  • Bioinformatics links: “links to informatics resources on the net” – http://www.bioplanet.com/bioinformatics_links.htm
  • Bioinformatics links directory: “The Bioinformatics Links Directory features curated links to molecular resources, tools and databases. All of the resources are free or available for a nominal fee. The links listed in this directory are selected on the basis of recommendations from bioinformatics experts in the field. We make every effort to list useful, well tested resources instead listing all tools.” – http://bioinformatics.ubc.ca/resources/links_directory/

  • Statistical Genetics Humor Page: “The information collected here is dedicated to proving the following theorem: Theorem: All statistical geneticists are not humorless nerds! Unfortunately, the above theorem has been disproved – see here for the fatal counter-example! So we now have a revised theorem: Revised theorem: Not all statistical geneticists are humorless nerds!” – http://watson.hgen.pitt.edu/humor/
