To run PBAT, the file “pbatdata.txt” has to be copied to the directory which contains the pedigree files and the phenotype files for analysis. The file “pbatdata.txt” is necessary to accelerate the computation of the marker distribution when extended pedigrees are analyzed. The current version of the “pbatdata.txt”-file support accelerated computation of the marker distribution for pedigrees in which the largest nuclear families does not have more than 15 offspring. If the “pbatdata.txt”-file is missing, PBAT will create this file. The user then has to specify the size of the largest nuclear family within an extended pedigree (Figure 1). For nuclear family-sizes greater than 10, the creation of the “pbatdata.txt”-file can take several days, even on fast computers.

If you want to receive notice when a new version of PBAT becomes available or information about other updates of PBAT, e.g. bugs, etc, please register by email.
