TLINKAGE 20 – Two-locus Linkage Analysis

TLINKAGE 20

:: DESCRIPTION

The Tlinkage programs described here are an extension of the general LINKAGE programs for genetic linkage analysis. The extension consists of allowing for a disease phenotype to be under the control of two loci. The current version (20 Apr 2007) corrected a bug that had an effect only with relatively large numbers of alleles at the marker loci.
