Faster linkage analysis computations for pedigrees with loops or unused alleles.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Schäffer A A

Abstract excerpt

There seems to be no limit to the complexity of computations that genetic linkage analysts want to do. Two primary factors that increase the length of computations are pedigree loops and unknown genotypes. I describe the implementation in FASTLINK of some algorithmic improvements to partly addres...
