Original Paper

The art of pedigree drawing: algorithmic aspects

Received on July 13, 2000 ; revised on September 7, 2000 ; accepted on September 9, 2000

Motivation: Giving a meaningful representation of a pedigree is not obvious when it includes consanguinity loops, individuals with multiple mates or several related families.

Results: We show that finding a perfectly meaningful representation of a pedigree is equivalent to the interval graph sandwich problem and we propose an algorithm for drawing pedigrees.
