Versions |
What's new? |
v1.3.2-> v1.3.3 February 2004
|
Bugs have been corrected in the Identification/Regroup genotypes function (genotypes were not correctly assigned to the samples. |
v1.3.1 -> v1.3.2 October 2003 |
|
v1.3.0 -> v1.3.1 February 2003
|
Bugs in Kinship module have been corrected. New features in Kinship module: the determination of the kinship could be limited to some individuals (pp 7-8 in the Guide). |
v1.2.0 -> v1.3.0 January 2003 |
Estimation error rate: the error types have been changed. Allele dropout and false allele are still available, however the double and complete error types have been differenciated in 5 distinctive types. A new method for the construction of consensus genotypes is available. This method is based on the calculation of relative probabilities for potential genotypes using the error rates estimated above. Bug correction: previous version did not allow the use of two-digit allele higher than 50. This bug has been corrected. |
v1.0.1 -> v1.0.2 August 2002 |
It is now possible to treat missing allele as any other alleles or as distinctive alleles (This is done for Regrouping task; it will be done for Identification soon). |
v1.0.0 -> v1.0.1 May 2002 |
Several bugs were fixed in Calculator module (allele frequencies estimation, Consensus construction) and Identification module (kinship) New options in Kinship where standard deviations can be set for Life History Traits. Either one parent or pair of parents can be determined whereas always pair of parents before update. |
GIMLET (Genotypic Identification with MultiLocus Tags) is a software dedicated for geneticists who work on individual identification using molecular tags in diploid species. In this context, molecular tags are composite genotypes at multiple loci, each composed by two alleles. Thus, N pairs of coding values compose the molecular tag for a sample. Coding values could be for example two-digits-numbers designing alleles (e.g. 01, 02, 03 for first, second and third alleles) or could be allele size (three-digits-number) for VNTRs loci (e.g. 242, 244, 246 for first, second and third alleles). GIMLET performs following tasks: (i) estimating error rates during genotyping and constructing consensus genotypes from repeated genotyping, (ii) regrouping identical genotypes, (iii) identifying one or several genotype(s) comparing it (them) with references, (iv) determining parentage between individuals (kinship) (v) estimating several parameters producing data to estimate several parameters (allelic frequencies, Probability of Identity, population size).
GIMLET is a Windows based software compiled with Visual Basic. You can install GIMLET on any Windows® compatible operating system. The installation of GIMLET required about 4 Mo in hard disk (about 1Mo in the folder Gimlet and 3 Mo for system files).
All input and output files are text files (ASCII, space and tabulation separator), which could be written and read with any text editor (such as Word, WordPad, NoteBook) or Excel. These file are under GENEPOP format. Gimlet accepts all file extension.

Package Gemini v132.zip is composed by Setup.exe file and all dependancy files needed for the installation of GIMLET, Help file. For installing GIMLET on your computer, double-click on Setup.exe (open Setup.zip using WINZIP available at http://www.winzip.com/) and follow the instructions. Installation requires about 4 Mo disk space (about 1Mo in the folder GIMLET and 3 Mo for system files). After installation, go on your Staring Menu/ Programs to launch GIMLET (Gimlet icon), or go in the Gimlet folder and double click on the Gimlet.exe to run GIMLET.
