Exact genetic linkage computations for general pedigrees
MOTIVATION Genetic linkage analysis is a useful statistical tool for mapping disease genes and for associating functionality of genes with their location on the chromosome. There is a need for a program that computes multipoint likelihood on general pedigrees with many markers that also deals with two-locus disease models. RESULTS In this paper we present algorithms for performing exact multi...
متن کاملA system for exact and approximate genetic linkage analysis of SNP data in large pedigrees
MOTIVATION The use of dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data in genetic linkage analysis of large pedigrees is impeded by significant technical, methodological and computational challenges. Here we describe Superlink-Online SNP, a new powerful online system that streamlines the linkage analysis of SNP data. It features a fully integrated flexible processing workflow comprising both wel...
متن کاملGenetic linkage mapping in complex pedigrees
Genetic linkage analysis is the primary method for the identification of loci contributing to complex disease susceptibility. Linkage analysis techniques can be applied to both disease status (discrete traits) and to quantitative trait measures (quantitative trait loci or QTL mapping). Such techniques will be most effective if they can be applied to all of the available data; in human, ecologic...
متن کاملFaster sequential genetic linkage computations.
Linkage analysis using maximum-likelihood estimation is a powerful tool for locating genes. As available data sets have grown, the computation required for analysis has grown exponentially and become a significant impediment. Others have previously shown that parallel computation is applicable to linkage analysis and can yield order-of-magnitude improvements in speed. In this paper, we demonstr...
متن کاملMultipoint quantitative-trait linkage analysis in general pedigrees.
Multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) has previously been restricted to sibships and small pedigrees. In this article, we show how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and we develop a general framework for multipoint identity-by-descent (IBD) probability calculations. We extend the sib-pair multipoint mapping appr...
