Abstract

Multilocus linkage analysis is investigated from the viewpoint of the efficiency of recombination estimates under different strategies for detecting linkage and determining gene order within a linkage group. We consider the appropriateness of assuming no interference with data available in human genetic studies. Examples are given to show the significance of multilocus analysis in humans. A computer program package, LINKAGE, for multilocus linkage analysis is described.
