Abstract
Creating pedigree charts is a recurring task in biomedical research, but there are few online tools for drawing complex human pedigrees available and even fewer are free. With DrawPed we aim to close this gap. DrawPed automatically draws pedigree charts from standard PED format pedigree files. Users can also create pedigrees from scratch and interactively edit existing pedigrees. The application can display conditions not captured in a PED file such as deceased persons or suspected consanguinity of parents. Pedigree charts are displayed as SVGs, which are scalable and hence publication-ready. Pedigrees can be exported as PED files for storage, exchange, or use in other applications. DrawPed is open source and freely available at https://www.genecascade.org/DrawPed/.
