Comparison of the power and accuracy of biallelic and microsatellite markers in population-based gene-mapping methods.

Abstract excerpt

Because of their great abundance and amenability to fully automated genotyping, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and simple insertion/deletion are emerging as a new generation of markers for positional cloning. Although the efficiency and cost associated with the markers are important in the mapping of human disease genes, the power to detect the linkage between the marker and the disease locus, as well as...
