Metapop2

Metapop2 is a software for management of subdivided populations in conservation programs. Using molecular marker data or pedigree information, the software determines the optimal contributions (i.e. number of offspring) of each individual, the number of migrants, and the particular subpopulations involved in the exchange of individuals in order to maintain the largest level of gene diversity in the whole population with a desired control in the rate of inbreeding. Restrictions can be introduced for the total number of migrants, and the mating of particular pairs and their contribution. A full genetic diversity analysis of the population is also carried out.

AFLPMax

AFLPMax is a program aimed at finding the optimal number of AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism, Vos et al. 1995) sampled bands needed to reconstruct an accurate and well-supported AFLP-based phylogeny. Given a reference tree obtained a priori by any phylogenetic inference method and any source of information, AFLPMax provides the optimal number of AFLP bands that would be needed to reconstruct that tree with accuracy and, therefore, it is a tool useful to optimize resources and work for the reconstruction.
