Comparative linkage analysis and visualization of high-density oligonucleotide SNP array data [PDF]
, 2011 Background: The identification of disease-associated genes using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been increasingly reported. In particular, the Affymetrix Mapping 10 K SNP microarray platform uses one PCR primer to amplify the DNA samples and ...

Cisgenesis: an important sub-invention for traditional plant breeding companies [PDF]
, 2009 Modern plant breeding is highly dependent on new technologies to master future problems. More traits have to be combined, frequently originating from wild species. Traditional breeding is connected with linkage drag problems.

Construction of an integrated consensus map of the Apple genome based on four mapping populations [PDF]
, 2008 An integrated consensus genetic map for apple was constructed on the basis of segregation data from four genetically connected crosses (C1¿=¿Discovery × TN10-8, C2¿=¿Fiesta × Discovery, C3¿=¿Discovery × Prima, C4¿=¿Durello di Forli × Fiesta) with a total

GeneLink: a database to facilitate genetic studies of complex traits [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: In contrast to gene-mapping studies of simple Mendelian disorders, genetic analyses of complex traits are far more challenging, and high quality data management systems are often critical to the success of these projects.

A transparent and transportable methodology for evaluating Data Linkage software
Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 2012 There has been substantial growth in Data Linkage (DL) activities in recent years. This reflects growth in both the demand for, and the supply of, linked or linkable data. Increased utilisation of DL "services" has brought with it increased need for impartial information about the suitability and performance capabilities of DL software programs and ...

Computational approaches and software tools for genetic linkage map estimation in plants [PDF]
Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2009 Genetic maps are an important component within the plant biologist's toolkit, underpinning crop plant improvement programs. The estimation of plant genetic maps is a conceptually simple yet computationally complex problem, growing ever more so with the development of inexpensive, high-throughput DNA markers.
