GENEFINDER

Record added by Jurg Ott (the original Rockefeller list)

Version

1.1.9 (June 2004)

Description

GeneFinder uses GEE method to estimate the location of the susceptibility gene based on the allele-sharing of affected sib pairs for multiple markers. GENEFINDER can further the analysis of GENEHUNTER by providing a more accurate gene location estimation and the corresponding confidence interval.
