This is an executable (os x, windows) and Python command line (all platforms) program to re-array data output by GeneMapper (AppliedBiosystems). The problem is that GeneMapper data are not output in a format that is useful for downstream analyses with programs like Cervus. The program will read your input file and dynamically re-array your data into one of several outfile formats (for now: cervus, genepop, gerud). This program is released under the Gnu General Public License.
Note: The executable versions for OS X and Windows are large (12 MB) downloads because they are bundled with a Python executable and the windowing code (wxPython). This makes them large but more user friendly because Python need not be installed on your machine to run the program. The command-line version is a small download but requires Python to be installed. wxPython should also be installed if you want to try to run the GUI source code (gmconvert_source.py) on platforms other than windows or os x.

gmconvert 0.3.2 and greater may also be checked out from subversion at google code.
A rewrite of the older Ephemeris program written by Dean Pentcheff for PERL and distributed via the SREL DNA Lab web page. msatcommander has been rewritten for Python, and is distributed as a GUI version for OS X and WindowsXP. A command-line script for other platforms supporting Python is also available.
msatFinder is now hosted at google code.
A (Python) program implementing various probability of id (P(id)) measures [e.g. Paetkau and Strobeck (1994); Evett and Weir (1998), etc.]. We primarily have been using this to generate some estimates of cost and potential number of markers for use in genetic mark-recapture project(s).
The interface is a bit cruddy at the moment. You will need to change the input file name to that of your own file. An example input file is also provided to help w/ formatting. Input data consists of allele frequencies at each locus.
