 Description: A faster version of pedigree programs of Linkage
- Fastlink is much faster than the original Linkage but does not
- implement all the programs.
+ 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

  You do not really need these papers about fastlink but it is highly
  recommended to study this documentation before starting with the
  tools of the fastlink package.
