Disentangling linkage disequilibrium and linkage from dense single-nucleotide polymorphism trio data.
Genetics - 1 Dec 2005

Abstract excerpt
Parent-offspring trios are widely collected for disease gene-mapping studies and are being extensively genotyped as part of the International HapMap Project. With dense maps of markers on trios, the effects of LD and linkage can be separated, allowing estimation of recombination rates in a model-free setting. Here we define a model-free multipoint method on the basis of dense sequence polymorphism data from...
