Probabilities of orders in linkage calculations.

Abstract excerpt

The present state of linkage estimation procedures is surveyed. When information on linkage between several loci on one chromosome is given in the form of lod scores or likelihoods, a method is developed for finding the probabilities of the different possible orders of the loci, and the distribution of the map distances between them. This depends largely on a Monte Carlo method of integrating the probabilities.
