The violent crime linkage analysis system : a test of interrater reliability [PDF]
The interrater reliability of an internationally renowned crime linkage system—the Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System (ViCLAS)—was tested. Police officers (N = 10) were presented with a case file and asked to complete a ViCLAS booklet.

No Bias in Linkage Analysis [PDF]
To the Editor: In a recent article, Schork and Greenwood (2004) made the alarming claim that nonparametric linkage analysis methods have a previously unrecognized inherent bias against detection of linkage and proposed that linkage studies that have used these methods should be reexamined.

Spikelet number is an important target trait for wheat yield improvement. Thus, the identification and verification of novel quantitative trait locus (QTL)/genes controlling spikelet number are essential for dissecting the underlying molecular mechanisms

The first-generation Daphnia magna linkage map [PDF]
Background Daphnia magna is a well-established model species in ecotoxicology, ecology and evolution. Several new genomics tools are presently under development for this species; among them, a linkage map is a first requirement for estimating the genetic

Computerized crime linkage systems: A critical review and research agenda [PDF]
Computerized crime linkage systems are meant to assist the police in determining whether crimes have been committed by the same offender. In this article, the authors assess these systems critically and identify four assumptions that affect the ...

Employing MCMC under the PPL framework to analyze sequence data in large pedigrees
The increased feasibility of whole genome (or whole exome) sequencing has led to renewed interest in using family data to find disease mutations. For clinical phenotypes that lend themselves to study in large families, this approach can be particularly ...

A multi-locus QTL mapping method is presented, which combines linkage and linkage disequilibrium (LD) information and uses multitrait data. The method assumed a putative QTL at the midpoint of each marker bracket.

Identification of a Locus on the X Chromosome Linked to Familial Membranous Nephropathy
Introduction: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in adults and is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease due to glomerulonephritis.

Localization of multiple pleiotropic genes for lipoprotein metabolism in baboons[S]
We employed a novel approach to identify the key loci that harbor genes influencing lipoprotein metabolism in approximately 2,000 pedigreed baboons fed various diets differing in levels of fat and cholesterol.

Genetic Linkage Analysis [PDF]
Genetic linkage analysis is a powerful tool to detect the chromosomal location of disease genes. It is based on the observation that genes that reside physically close on a chromosome remain linked during meiosis. For most neurologic diseases for which the underlying biochemical defect was not known, the identification of the chromosomal location of ...
