BREADR

The goal of BREADR is to provide an easy-to-use method for estimating degrees of relatedness (up to the second degree) for extremely low-coverage data. BREADR also allows users to quantify and visualise the level of confidence in the estimated degrees of relatedness.

The method requires Eigenstrat files (an ind, geno and snp file) to begin, allowing the user to account for DNA deamination when genotyping their data.

Further information can be found at the BREADR website.
