Pedigree Builder & Inheritance Analyzer

Education

Draw a family pedigree with standard symbols and the app checks it against autosomal dominant and recessive, X-linked, Y-linked and mitochondrial inheritance, listing which patterns remain possible and exactly why the others fail. Mark the affected and unaffected relatives and it works out genotype probabilities for anyone in the chart with the working shown, including the classic result that an unaffected sibling of someone with a recessive condition is a carrier two-thirds of the time. Everything stays in your browser, it uses fictional families, and it is an educational tool, not for clinical use.
