GMCONVERT: file conversion for GENEMAPPER output files

GMCONVERT is a platform-independent program provided in GUI (for Apple OS X and Windows XP) and command-line versions (for other platforms). GMCONVERT allows rapid reformatting of microsatellite data from output files produced by Applied Biosystems GENEMAPPER software (version 3.x). The program will re-array data into three formats commonly used in downstream analysis: GENEPOPS, CERVUS, and GERUDS. GMCONVERT will greatly increase the speed of data preparation prior to analysis and aid in reducing transpositional errors associated with manual re-arraying and reformatting steps. GMCONVERt is available from http://gallus.forestry.uga.edu/software/.
