    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficiency of two-point and three-point linkage tests for detecting linkage and estimating recombination.
    • To develop a computer program for multilocus linkage analysis.
    • To propose a location score method for efficient linkage detection with established genetic groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of two-point and three-point linkage tests.
    • Development of the LINKAGE computer program for multilocus linkage analysis.
