hmmIBD: software to infer pairwise identity by descent between haploid genotypes

Abstract Background A number of recent malaria studies have used identity by descent (IBD) to study epidemiological processes relevant to malaria control. In this paper, a software package, hmmIBD, is introduced for estimating pairwise IBD between haploid genomes, such as those of the malaria parasi...
