Methods for constructing kinship matrices are becoming diverse and different methods have their specific appropriate scenes. However, software that can comprehensively calculate kinship matrices for a variety of scenarios is still in an urgent demand.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In this study, we developed an efficient and user-friendly python module, PyAGH, that can accomplish (1) conventional additive kinship matrces construction based on pedigree, genotypes, abundance data from transcriptome or microbiome; (2) genomic kinship matrices construction in combined population; (3) dominant and epistatic effects kinship matrices construction; (4) pedigree selection, tracing, detection and visualization; (5) visualization of cluster, heatmap and PCA analysis based on kinship matrices. The output from PyAGH can be easily integrated in other mainstream software based on users\u2019 purposes. Compared with other softwares, PyAGH integrates multiple methods for calculating the kinship matrix and has advantages in terms of speed and data size compared to other software. PyAGH is developed in python and C\u2009+\u2009\u2009+\u2009and can be easily installed by pip tool.
