DMLE+: Bayesian linkage disequilibrium gene mapping

SUMMARY The program DMLE+ allows Bayesian inference of the location of a gene carrying a mutation influencing a discrete trait (such as a disease) and/or other parameters of interest (such as mutation age) based on the observed linkage disequilibrium at multiple genetic markers. DMLE+ uses either individual marker genotypes, or haplotypes, integrates over uncertain population allele frequencies, and can incorporate prior information about gene location from an annotated human genome sequence. AVAILABILITY DMLE+ is available in both Windows GUI and portable UNIX command line versions at http://dmle.org.
