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.
acoRn can be easily installed through GitHub as follows:
# install.packages("remotes")
library(remotes)
install_github("npechl/acoRn")# 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)# load acoRn
library(acoRn)
# example datasets
data("parents")
data("offspring")
# run acoRn
r <- acoRn(parents, offspring)
