The Cluster Variation Method for Efficient Linkage Analysis on Extended Pedigrees
Background: Computing exact multipoint LOD scores for extended pedigrees rapidly becomes infeasible as the number of markers and untyped individuals increase. When markers are exc...

PedGenie: an analysis approach for genetic association testing in extended pedigrees and genealogies of arbitrary size
Background: We present a general approach to perform association analyses in pedigrees of arbitrary size and structure, which also allows for a mixture of pedigree members and ind...

Parallel Genehunter: Implementation of a Linkage Analysis Package for Distributed-Memory Architectures
We present a parallel algorithm for performing multipoint linkage analysis of genetic marker data on large family pedigrees. The algorithm effectively distributes both the computa...

Haplotype association analyses in resources of mixed structure using Monte Carlo testing
Background: Genomewide association studies have resulted in a great many genomic regions that are likely to harbor disease genes. Thorough interrogation of these specific regions ...

Optimizing exact genetic linkage computations
Genetic linkage analysis is a challenging application which requires Bayesian networks consisting of thousands of vertices. Consequently, computing the likelihood of data, which i...
