We are aware that the version of PowerMarker available from this site is nonfunctional, giving a message that it has expired. We are trying to find a copy of the original source code to recompile PowerMarker, but we are not very hopeful about that. Even though it remains widely used, we have not supported or updated PowerMarker for over 10 years. At this point the only way to run the software is by changing your computer.s calendar date. Please watch the web site for a message announcing either a revised download or the end of PowerMarker.

PowerMarker V3.0 was officially released on January 30th, 2004. Full
documentation is included.
- The following functions are disabled in
PowerMarker: (1) Marker selection for haplotype data, genotype data and
trio data (2) Population structure inference based on EM algorithm (3)
Logistic regression and least angle regression for association study. The
author is stilling working on the publications. The algorithms have been
implemented and tested with simulated data. Please contact the author
if you are interested in these algorithms.

What's PowerMarker? |
|
PowerMarker is a comprehensive set of
statistical methods for genetic marker data analysis, designed especially
for SSR/SNP data analysis. PowerMarker builds a
powerful user interface around both new and traditional statistical
methods for population genetic analysis. See
analysis to check out the versatility of PowerMarker. PowerMarker is
also a 2D Viewer - which was used intensively for visualizing linkage
disequilibria results. Download
PowerMarker now and speed up your data analysis!

Top ten features in PowerMarker |
| Unique analyses |
Implements
population specific F-statistics, CoreSet analysis, structure inference
based on EM, trio haplotype estimation, robust marker selection. Not available in any other
package. |
| GUI-based batch system |
Support
multiple dataset. Multiple threading system will allow the user to
cancel or pause/resume the analysis anytime. Results will be
automatically saved. |
| 2D Viewer |
Support
user-defined plotting. Support series of different levels of
significance. Plot can be exported as image or graphic. |
| Excel integration |
Integrate with
Excel. Table-like data objects can be directly opened in Excel. Easily
import tables from Excel to PowerMarker. Directly call Excel for
triangle plot. |
| Object explorer |
Manage
all the data objects in an object explorer. Support drag and drop, allow
the user to create new folders. |
| Haplotype estimation |
Estimate
haplotype frequency using EM/Bisection EM algorithm. Up to 100 times
faster than any other implementations. |
| Frequency-based distance |
Support 19
different distances for frequency data. |
| Disequilibrium analysis |
Include Hardy-Weinberg test/statistics, two-locus linkage disequilibrium
test/statistics/2D matrix, multi-locus linkage disequilibrium test. |
| Batch import/export |
Import
dataset from a few clicks! Support batch import for advanced users.
Export all the data objects in a project to text files or tables! |
| SNP simulation |
Implement a
coalescence model with or without recombination hotspots |
|
|
PowerMarker's graphic user interface |
|
The graphic interface allows the user to
- Perform 30+ different analyses
- Manage projects and a variety of data
objects
- Import data from raw formats
- Export data to other formats
- Sample/partition data objects
- Convert data objects
- View all the data objects
- Generate CoreSet scripts
