== Borland Genetics === | |||
[https://www.borlandgenetics.com/ Borland Genetics] is an autosomal matching database with emphasis on reconstructing DNA of deceased individuals | |||
Borland Genetics was founded by Kevin Borland in 2019. The website is dedicated to reconstructing DNA of deceased individuals by using samples from their descendants. The raw data files for the deceased individuals can then be uploaded to other sites that accept uploads. Many of the tools on the website are free, but there is also a subscription version that grants access to more advanced tools.

=== Core Utilities === | |||
*Ultimate Phaser (Can be accessed from the Chromosome Browser screen, by clicking the "Chromosome Browser" button on any of the matches to any of the kits in your DNA Inventory.) | |||
Extract Segments (Can be accessed from the Kit Attributes screen, by clicking the "Explore in Kit Laboratory" button on any of the mono kits in your DNA Inventory.) | |||
*Chameleon (Deprecated: Replaced by the Chameleon DNA Template Management Engine which automatically runs on the server and selects optimal settings. You no longer have to choose a project template and/or manually manage templates for use with tools that require multiple kits as input.) | |||
*Humpty Dumpty (Can be accessed by clicking the "View/Edit Donor Profile" button on any of the eligible donors in your DNA Inventory.) | |||
=== Special Phase Scripts === | |||
*Two-Parent Phase: This free tool creates high resolution phased output kits when DNA of both parents of a child donor is available. | *Two-Parent Phase: This free tool creates high resolution phased output kits when DNA of both parents of a child donor is available. | ||

*Reverse Phase: This tool allows users to phase their DNA using the DNA of a child rather than a parent. In the free version of the tool, users are instructed to follow a multi-step workflow including phasing and chromosome mapping. There is also an automated subscription version of the workflow which can be initiated by creating a smart project. | *Reverse Phase: This tool allows users to phase their DNA using the DNA of a child rather than a parent.

*Phoenix: This free tool partially reconstructs a parent of a selected child donor by extracting shared DNA from family members on the same side of the family as the target parent. This is the tool works the same as the Lazarus tool on GedMatch | |||
*Darkside: This free tool partially reconstructs a parent of a selected child donor by isolating DNA from the opposite copy of the child's chromosomes across regions where the child shares DNA segments with family members on the opposite side of the family as the target parent. | |||
*Phase Map Locker: This subscription tool allows users to store chromosome maps in the Borland Genetics database where they can be integrated into a variety of tools and workflows. | |||
*Create a Private Project: This subscription tool allows users to organize their DNA kits into projects. Users can also invite other users who have matching kits to submit them to their projects and collaborate. There are also three types of special Smart Projects (Reverse Phase, Visual Phasing and Creeper), in which the Creeper (the site's automated assistant) guides users through complex reconstruction workflows. Visual phasing and generic Creeper Smart Projects are currently under construction, but the unfinished versions are already available to subscribers for beta testing. The Creeper-assisted Reverse Phase Smart Project workflow is already completed. | |||
*Build 36 to Build 37 Conversion Tool: This free tool allows users to paste a list of Build 36 segments from Excel and have them converted to Build 37 coordinates. This tool used to be more important when FamilyTreeDNA was using build 36 and all the other companies were using build 37. However, all the companies are now on build 37. | |||
*Global Surname Search (Beta): This free tool allows users to search the database for profiles with a given surname. | |||
=== Version 2 Tools === | |||
*Visualize and Export Reconstructed Segment Data (Deprecated: Replaced by Ultimate Chromosome Browser and Kit Attributes screens. Ultimate Chromosome Browser can be accessed by clicking the "Chromosome Browser" button on any of the kits in a DNA Resource's match list. Kit Attributes can be accessed by clicking the "Explore in Kit Laboratory" button on any of the kits in your DNA Inventory.) | |||
*Script Manager (Deprecated: To be replaced by a combination of premium web tools.) | |||
*Imputer (Coming soon!) | |||
=== Version 3 Tools === | |||
*HIR Mapper V1.0 (Deprecated: Replaced by HIR Mapper V2.0 Premium Web tool, accessible on kit profile screens for eligible kits.) | |||
*Creeper (Original stand-alone version deprecated. Now integrated into Premium smart projects) | |||
=== New Free Web Tools === | |||
*Chromosome Browser (Can be accessed by clicking the "Chromosome Browser" button on any of the matches to any of the kits in your DNA Inventory.) | |||
*Regional Project Pilot Program Membership (Qualifying kits can be submitted from the Kit Attributes screen) | |||
*Family Project Pilot Program Membership (Qualifying kits can be submitted from the Kit Attributes screen) | |||
*Build 36 to Build 37 Conversion Tool (Beta) | |||
=== New Premium Web Tools === | |||
*HIR Mapper V2.0 (Can be accessed from the Kit Attributes screen, by clicking the "Explore in Kit Laboratory" button on any of the mono kits in your DNA Inventory.) | |||
*Phase Map Locker | |||
*Create a Private Project | |||
*Advanced Raw DNA data export options (Can be accessed from the Kit Attributes screen) | |||
*Ultimate Ethnicity Tool (Coming soon!) | |||
*High-speed unlimited Phoenix and Darkside tools (Coming soon!) | |||
