Methods are given for efficient calculation of the likelihood for multilocus linkage in families comprised of grandparents, parents, and children. Such families are being used in large-scale cooperative efforts to build a detailed linkage map of the human genome. The methods are illustrated by an ap

โฆ Synopsis
We describe a method for identifying, from a comprehensive genetic map, the most dense framework of confidently ordered markers. The approach uses the number of observed recombination events between each pair of markers, and finds the largest subset of markers for which adjacent loci are separated by at least one recombination. We illustrate the approach using a short region of chromosome 7p.

A quasimultiple affine plane of order \(n\) and multiplicity \(\lambda\) is a \((v, k, \lambda)=\left(n^{2}, n, \lambda\right)\) balanced incomplete block design. For those cases where the Bruck-Ryser theorem rules out \(\lambda=1\) it is an interesting problem to determine the smallest actual value
