A general and efficient method for estimating continuous IBD functions for use in genome scans for QTL
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Identity by descent (IBD) matrix estimation is a central component in mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) using variance component models. A large number of algorithms have been developed for estimation of IBD between individual...
