PGDSpider: an automated data conversion tool for connecting population genetics and genomics programs

UNLABELLED: The analysis of genetic data often requires a combination of several approaches using different and sometimes incompatible programs. In order to facilitate data exchange and file conversions between population genetics programs, we introduce PGDSpider, a Java program that can read 27 different file formats and export data into 29, partially overlapping, other file formats. The PGDSpider package includes both an intuitive graphical user interface and a command-line version allowing its integration in complex data analysis pipelines. AVAILABILITY: PGDSpider is freely available under the BSD 3-Clause license on http://cmpg.unibe.ch/software/PGDSpider/.
