Objectives: To describe, implement, and test an efficient algorithm to obtain multipoint identity-by-descent (IBD) probabilities at arbitrary positions among marker loci for general pedigrees. Unlike ...

It is shown that the method of Heuch and Li for recursive calculation of conditional genotype probabilities in pedigrees also applies to joint phenotype probability calculations. This procedure was ...

Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in arbitrary outbred pedigrees is complicated by the combinatorial possibilities of allele flow relationships and of the founder allelic configurations. Exact ...
