Abstract excerpt
There are generally three steps to isolate a disease linkage-susceptibility gene: genome-wide scan, fine mapping, and, last, positional cloning. The last step is time consuming and involves intensive laboratory work. In some cases, fine mapping cannot proceed further on a set of markers because they are tightly linked. For years, genetic statisticians have been trying different ways to narrow the fine-mapping...
