A method to construct genetic maps using two-point lod tables was applied to the simulated pedigree data. The analysis provided the correct map order and distances between markers with remarkable accuracy. The methodology is discussed.

โฆ Synopsis
Two-point methods were used throughout. Male and female lod scores were calculated using LIPED. Edwards' programs, ZLODS and OBM, were used for joint analysis of the lod scores. ZLODS estimates recombination fractions. OBM calculates the likelihood and estimates the map distances for a given ordering of loci. Since OBM will only analyze a specified ordering, multidimensional scaling was used as a general method for establishing linkage groups and likely orderings within them.

We comment on three aspects of genetic linkage studies: 1) estimation of interference, 2) determining order of loci, and 3) sex differences in recombination.
For each pair of loci among the four loci in a linkage group, a two-point analysis was performed. It consisted of estimating means, variances, and correlation of male and female recombination fractions and approximating the joint likelihood by a bivariate normal density. The painvise results were as
