Description: A faster version of pedigree programs of Linkage
 Genetic linkage analysis is a statistical technique used to map
 genes and find the approximate location of disease genes. 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
Description-it: versione più veloce dei programmi di Linkage per pedigree
 L'analisi di linkage è una tecnica statistica usata per mappare geni e
 trovare la posizione approssimata di geni responsabili di malattie. Per le
 analisi di linkage esisteva un pacchetto software standard chiamato
 LINKAGE. FASTLINK è una versione fortemente modificata e migliorata del
 programma principale di LINKAGE che gira molto più velocemente in modo
 sequenziale, può essere eseguita in parallelo, permette all'utente di
 ripartire facilmente se il computer va in crash e fornisce abbondante
 documentazione nuova. FASTLINK è stato usato in più di 1000 studi genetici
 di linkage pubblicati.
 .
 Questo pacchetto contiene i seguenti programmi:
  ilink:    procedura di ottimizzazione GEMINI per trovare un valore locale
            ottimale per il vettore theta delle frazioni di ricombinazione;
  linkmap:  calcola i punteggi delle posizioni di un locus rispetto a una
            mappa fissata di altri loci;
  lodscore: compara la verosimiglianza corrispondente al theta locale
            ottimale;
  mlink:    calcola i punteggi LOD e il rischio con due o più loci;
  unknown:  identifica possibili genotipi per sconosciuti.
