Example DNA Gramplet

The DNA Gramplet shows a DNA segment map as a graph.

Usage

You can install the DNA Gramplet on the bottombar of one of the people category list views.

Create a DNA Association

To specify shared DNA segments between 2 people,

  • Create an Association for one person (Person A) with another Person (Person B) of the type DNA.
  • Create a Note in the Association of Type: "Association Note" with the shared DNA segment data.
    • The format of the Note is a comma separated list in the order: Chromosome Number, Start Segment, End Segment, flag for maternal/paternal side, shared length in cMs.
Flag for maternal/paternal side Description
M Maternal side
P Paternal side
U Unknown side


Sites like GEDmatch make this shared chromosome data available. There can be additional Associations between Person A and Person C et cetera as known. A sample set of data in one Note is shown below.

15,35444614,64710827,M,33.3
1,48053426,68837810,M,24.6
1,72956037,87857969,M,13.4
3,69656569,74563488,M,9.0

Example

Addon-DNA-Note-Example.png

Create an Association of type DNA as described in the Association page to Person A. Add a Note with the DNA shared segment data.


Addon-DNA-Association-Example.png

Save the Association.

Addon-DNA-Associations-Example.png

Add more associations as known. Each would be associated to a different person and have a different Note.

Addon-DNA-SegmentMap.png

Add the DNA gramplet to the Person view. Select the DNA tab. The segment map will be color coded by associated person. The P side is the top portion and the M side is the bottom portion for each chromosome. If the segment side is unknown, the segment will cover both the top and bottom portions of the chromosome and be 50% transparent.

Hovering the cursor over a known segment will pop up the name of the associated person and the length (in cMs) of the shared segment.

Issues

  • If the Chromosome Number is not in the range (1, 2, ..., 22, X) it is ignored.
  • If there is a Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA), that relationship is used instead of the maternal/paternal flag. If the MRCA is thru the maternal side, then M is used independent of what is in the data file. If there are multiple paths to a common ancestor, the closest found is used.
  • To create a segment map for Person A, you need to add associations to Person A. There is no reciprocal relationship for Person B - that is, there is no segment map for Person B, only for Person A. You can execute the Addon:SyncAssociation addon to create any missing reciprocal relationships.
  • Color code for each associated person in the map is consistent but not user-specified. The first Association will always be the same color.
  • Help link goes to https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#DNA
  • Source code - Unlisted Gramplet you need to manually download and install ( include_in_listing = False ) https://github.com/gramps-project/addons/raw/master/gramps51/download/DNA.addon.tgz
  • If there are overlapping segments within a maternal/paternal view of a chromosome, only the front (last drawn) will be pickable. If it is completely obscured, you will not be able to see the details of the hidden segment.
