A Few Words about Software
This text contains several numerical examples that rely on software from
the public domain. Readers interested in a copy of the programs MENDEL
and FISHER mentioned in Chapters 7 and 8 and the optimization program
SEARCH used in Chapter 3 should get in touch with me. Laura Lazzeroni
distributes software for testing transmission association and linkage dise-
quilibrium as discussed in Chapter 4. Daniel Weeks is responsible for the
software implementing the APM method of linkage analysis featured in
Chapter 6. He and Eric Sobel also distribute software for haplotyping and
stochastic calculation of location scores as covered in Chapter 9. Readers
should contact Eric Schadt or Janet Sinsheimer for the phylogeny software
of Chapter 10 and Michael Boehnke for the radiation hybrid software dis-
cussed in Chapter 11. Further free software for genetic analysis is listed in
the recent book by Ott and Terwilliger [3].
