Cercueil, A., Bellemain, E., Manel, S. 2002. PARENTE: A software package for parentage analysis. Journal of Heredity. 93(6), 458-459.

PARENTE is a user-friendly software package that conducts parentage inference using molecular data from diploid codominant markers. Based on the principle of genetic compatibility, PARENTE looks for maternity, paternity or simultaneously for both potential parents, using multilocus genotypes and birth and death dates of individuals (if available). It also calculates the probability of successfully allocating an individual offspring to its parents. PARENTE is free and can be downloaded from : http://www2.ujf-grenoble.fr/leca/membres/manel.html.
