There was a standard software package for genetic linkage called LINKAGE. FASTLINK is a significantly modified and improved version of the main programs of LINKAGE that runs much faster sequentially, can run in parallel, allows the user to recover gracefully from a computer crash, and provides abundant new documentation. FASTLINK has been used in over 1000 published genetic linkage studies. . This package contains the following programs: ilink: GEMINI optimization procedure to find a locally optimal value of the theta vector of recombination fractions linkmap: calculates location scores of one locus against a fixed map of other loci lodscore: compares likelihoods at locally optimal theta mlink: calculates lod scores and risk with two of more loci unknown: identify possible genotypes for unknowns Package: fastlink-doc Architecture: all Section: doc Depends: ${misc:Depends} Suggests: fastlink Description: Some papers about fastlink Genetic linkage analysis is a statistical technique used to map genes and find the approximate location of disease genes.

You do not really need these papers about fastlink but it is highly recommended to study this documentation before starting with the tools of the fastlink package.
