A genetic linkage map of hexaploid naked oat constructed with SSR markers
Crop Journal, 2015 Naked oat is a unique health food crop in China. Using 202 F2 individuals derived from a hybrid between the variety 578 and the landrace Sanfensan, we constructed a genetic linkage map consisting of 22 linkage groups covering 2070.50 cM and including 208

The Detection of Linkage in Human Genetics
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1953 Summary There are three methods used in practice to detect human linkage. These are: (i)The sib-pair method of Penrose, applicable to pairs of brothers and sisters, when the parents’ genotypes are unknown or disregarded.(ii)The method of efficient scores (u-functions), due to Fisher and Finney, applicable to families consisting of 2 or ...
