Creeper Tool (Borland Genetics)

The Creeper is a tool in the early stages of development and is currently disabled in the Borland Genetics toolkit.

In future versions of the program, users will be able to attach DNA resources to a family tree data structure. The Creeper tool uses that structure to act as a workflow advisor, informing users of all possible reconstruction workflows given a set of DNA resources, after creeping through the tree structure. It will also walk the user through what steps (including visual phasing) are required to complete the workflow. As a wide variety of patterns and workflows are possible, including trees with relatives related to one another in more than one way, the Creeper will learn to recognize patterns and turn them into workflows using a lite form of artificial intelligence in conjunction with workflows taught to the Creeper by power users via the Script Manager. This process has been designed and is currently in the process of being reduced to practice.
