Abstract excerpt
Homozygosity mapping has played an important role in detecting recessive mutations using families of consanguineous marriages. However, detection of regions identical and homozygosity by descent (HBD) when family data are not available, or when relationships are unknown, is still a challenge. Making use of population data from high-density SNP genotyping may allow detection of regions HBD from recent common...
