Popgene - Population Genetic Analysis is a software application whose purpose is to aid people in analyzing genetic variations within the population, using co-dominant or dominant markers.

Minimalistic environment

The installation process is over in a jiffy, while the interface you come across is quite simple and clean. It comprises a menu bar, a few buttons and a pane in which to view opened information. It becomes pretty obvious that this tool is mostly dedicated to power users, seeing it requires some specialized knowledge.

Import and export data

This program supports DAT files both at import and export, and lets you save and upload items from the network with just a click of the button. It is also possible to print information, process dominant and co-dominant markers, as well as quantitative trait data.

Analyzing information and searching for items

In addition to that, depending on the information uploaded, you can perform some custom haploid or diploid data analysis operations (for markers), and select data format, assumption, hierarchical structure and estimation items (gene frequency, polymorphic loci, homogeneity, gene flow, neutrality test, dendrogram etc.), multilocus and do on.When it comes to quantitative data you can analyze the balanced or unbalanced data, by choosing which items to check, such as the ones aforementioned.A find and replace function is supported, along with a search one, and you can easily cut, copy, paste and delete items, undo your actions and change the font type, style and size.

Bottom line

To conclude, Popgene - Population Genetic Analysis is a complex and powerful piece of software which helps you analyze genetic variations within a specific population. The interface is suitable to all users, jobs are completed in a timely fashion and the system’s performance is not going to be affected at all.
