Making Marriage-Specific Pedigrees in R
I'm using the Pedtools package in R to recreate pedigree charts from a set of handmade records for analysis and so I can generate chart images at different resolutions, colors, etc. I'm running into an issue where I want to make a pedigree with individuals who are married without kids and Pedtools locks out any individual that doesn't contribute to the family genetically.
I can see why this design choice makes sense for actual analysis of genetics and relatedness, but I've been specifically asked to illustrate the prevalence of a condition while including literally all members of the family where records are available, including those without kids.
Is there a different R package I should use for this task or is there a way to override the Pedtools plotting method that I missed?
