METHODS FOR TESTING LINKAGE

Scores of maximum likelihood and amount of information per individual calculated 

 for p = 1/2 for different types of linkage-testing mating + 



X A and B represent the dominant alleles of the two genes in the test, a and b their recessive 

 alleles, irrespective of which are the mutant alleles. The genes are in coupling when A and B enter 

 the test together from the same parent. The signs given are for coupling; they should be reversed 

 for matings in repulsion. Adapted from Carter and Falconer. 172
