We applied a new test statistic for linkage that removes the traditional assumption of equal female (theta f) and male (theta m) recombination fractions by testing Ho: theta f + theta m = 1 vs. HA: theta f + theta m < 1 to GAW10 Problem 1. Specifically we reanalyzed the reported possible linkage...
