Core Hunter is a program for sampling genetic resources. Users can specify the sampling intensity and which genetic measures will be used for selection criteria. For instance, a core subset could be selected that best maximizes the average modified Rogers' distance, or one that maximizes the Shannon's diversity index. Users can also maximize multiple genetic measures simultaneously, by specifying a weight for each required measure. For more information please refer to the BMC Bioinformatics publication.
