In acoRn: Exclusion-Based Parentage Assignment Using Multilocus Genotype Data

acoRn

acoRn an open-source R package designed for exclusion-based parentage assignment. Utilizing the principles of Mendelian segregation, acoRn analyzes multilocus genotype data from potential parents and offspring to identify likely parentage relationships, while accommodating genotyping errors, missing data, and duplicate genotypes.

Installation

acoRn can be easily installed through GitHub as follows:

# install.packages("remotes")
library(remotes)
install_github("npechl/acoRn")

Usage

Synthetic genotype data generation

# load acoRn
library(acoRn)

# create mock parents dataset
parents <- create_mock_parents()

# create mock progeny dataset
offspring <- create_mock_progeny(p[[1]], fparents = 5, mparents = 5, prog = 5)

Parental assignment

# load acoRn
library(acoRn)

# example datasets
data("parents")
data("offspring")

# run acoRn
r <- acoRn(parents, offspring)

head(r)
