Bonsai: An efficient method for inferring large human pedigrees from genotype data.

Abstract excerpt

Pedigree inference from genotype data is a challenging problem, particularly when pedigrees are sparsely sampled and individuals may be distantly related to their closest genotyped relatives. We present a method that infers small pedigrees of close relatives and then assembles them into larger pedigrees. To assemble large pedigrees, we introduce several formulas and tools including a likelihood for the degree...
