Genetics and biology: a comment on the significance of the Elston-Stewart algorithm.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 1992

Stewart J

Abstract excerpt

This article recounts the background to the development of the Elston-Stewart algorithm for the genetic analysis of pedigree data. The algorithm can be used in the context of two contrasting research programmes. The first approach is analytical and reductionist. Traditional biological disciplines, such as physiology, embryology and comparative biology, describe phenomenological domains in which biological...
