PED is a fast interactive pedigree drawing software for Windows 98 (R) and above. PED was introduced at the ESHG Conference in 1997 and now has a continuously growing user community with researchers and clinicians in over 30 countries worldwide. PED complies with the "Recommendations for standardized human pedigree nomenclature" proposed by the PSTF (Bennet RL et al, Am J Hum Genet 56:745-752,1995). Apart from fully sizable printed output, pedigrees can be exported as Windows metafiles (WMF) to virtually any Windows Office or drawing program.
