Construction of human linkage maps: likelihood calculations for multilocus linkage analysis. 1986

G M Lathrop, and J M Lalouel, and R L White

Methods are given for efficient calculation of the likelihood for multilocus linkage in families comprised of grandparents, parents, and children. Such families are being used in large-scale cooperative efforts to build a detailed linkage map of the human genome. The methods are illustrated by an application to loci on chromosome 13.
