Abstract
Pedigree-based analyses' prime role is to unravel relationships between individuals in breeding programs and germplasms. This is critical information for decoding the genetics underlying main inherited traits of relevance, and unlocking the genotypic variability of a species to carry out genomic selections and predictions. Despite the great interest, current lineage visualizations become quite limiting in terms of public display, exploration, and tracing of traits up to ancestral donors. PERSEUS is a user-friendly, intuitive, and interactive web-based tool for pedigree visualizations represented as directed graph networks distributed using a force-repulsion method. The visualizations do not only showcase individual relationships among accessions, but also facilitate a seamless search and download of phenotypic traits along the pedigrees. PERSEUS is a promising tool for breeders and scientists, advantageous for evolutionary, genealogy, and diversity analyses among related accessions and species. PERSEUS is freely accessible at https://bioinformatics.cragenomica.es/perseus and GitHub code is available at https://github.com/aranzana-lab/PERSEUS.
