GeneMapperToFamilias Developed by Antonio Vozmediano and Lourdes Prieto DNA Laboratory, Comisaria General de Policia Cientifica (Spanish Forensic Police) This software, freely available here, was created to facilitate transferring data from GeneMapper program to Familias (1.97 or 3) program more quickly and safely. A Spanish version of this document is also available. Input files for the example showed in this document as well as additional files (kits configuration) are available here. Improvements from previous versions are: - Fits any commercial PCR kit. - Genetic data (nuclear DNA profiles) that can be imported from Genemapper have increased from 8 to 9 profiles. - Available in two languages: English or Spanish. - The txt file generated by GeneMapper can be used directly. - The name of genetic markers, alleles and their frequencies are imported as in previous versions (Excel file xls/x). In previous versions an Excel file for each PCR kit was necessary. In this version you can keep your population data in only one Excel file, using one sheet for each kit (5 sheets t maximum). The steps to follow are: 1. Select the txt file containing the configuration of the PCR kit you have used to analyze the samples. 2. Create an Excel (xls / x) file containing the allele frequencies of your population (name of genetic markers, alleles and their frequencies). 3. Generate a txt file from GeneMapper. 4. Open the executable and follow the instructions. 1. Select the “Kit configuration” file (txt) “Kit configuration” files are available for the following PCR kits: Cofiler, PowerPlex Fusion, Globalfiler, Identifiler, Minifiler, NGM, NGM-Select, PowerPlex-16, PowerPlex-21, Profiler, ProfilerPlus, SEfiler, SGM-Plus and Verifiler. You can download them here (zipped “kit config” folder) If you are using a different kit you can also create the “kit configuration” txt file as follows: - Open a new txt file. To move from one line to next one return key should be used. - Write the name of the kit in the first line. - Add the number of genetic markers that your kit contains in the second line. - Add the number of genetic markers that are not involved in the calculation in the third line (amelogenin, Y chromosome, etc.). - Add the position of Amelogenin in the kit in the fourth line. - Add the position/s where the rest of genetic markers that are not related to calculation are located in the kit (one number per line) - Save the file as “kitname_config.txt” (e.g., globalfiler_config.txt)

This software, freely available here, was created to facilitate transferring data from GeneMapper
program to Familias (1.97 or 3) program more quickly and safely. A Spanish version of this
document is also available. Input files for the example showed in this document as well as
additional files (kits configuration) are available here.
Improvements from previous versions are:
- Fits any commercial PCR kit.
- Genetic data (nuclear DNA profiles) that can be imported from Genemapper
have increased from 8 to 9 profiles.
- Available in two languages: English or Spanish.
- The txt file generated by GeneMapper can be used directly.
- The name of genetic markers, alleles and their frequencies are imported as
in previous versions (Excel file xls/x). In previous versions an Excel file for
each PCR kit was necessary. In this version you can keep your population
data in only one Excel file, using one sheet for each kit (5 sheets t
maximum).
The steps to follow are:
1. Select the txt file containing the configuration of the PCR kit you have
used to analyze the samples.
2. Create an Excel (xls / x) file containing the allele frequencies of your
population (name of genetic markers, alleles and their frequencies).
3. Generate a txt file from GeneMapper.
4. Open the executable and follow the instructions.
1. Select the “Kit configuration” file (txt)
“Kit configuration” files are available for the following PCR kits: Cofiler, PowerPlex Fusion,
