The Standard Version of Cyrillic 3 is designed for clinicians, genetic counselors and oncologists  who need to draw pedigrees 

and store data in a database, but who don't work with genetic marker data. Try the new integrated risk analysis which uses BRCAP RO and MENDEL, and download the Free Trial Version.

Genetics Researchers may still benefit from Cyrillic 2. This version of Cyrillic draws pedigrees, works with genetic marker data, lets you do haplotyping and allows exports to a range of linkage analysis packages.   If you work with genetic marker data, do haplotyping, or require functionality for export to analysis programs, we recommend that you order or continue to work with Cyrillic 2.
