Area of Science:

Genetics
Bioinformatics
Statistical Genetics

Background:

Understanding allele transmission from parents to progeny is fundamental for genetic analyses.
Four possible transmission events exist for an autosomal locus, determined by parental allele origin.
Accurate computation of these transmission probabilities is vital for quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a fast algorithm for estimating allele transmission probabilities.
To provide a method conditional to parental phases for improved QTL detection.
To adapt the algorithm for common QTL detection designs in outbred populations.

Main Methods:

Developed a computationally efficient algorithm for probability estimation.
Algorithm is conditional on known parental phases.
