FamLink
We present a new software,
FamLink
, that can perform statistical calculations based on pedigree structures and account for linkage between pairs of markers. In addition,
FamLink
can simulate genotype data in order to study the effect of accounting for linkage or not.
FamLink
is released freely, and published in:

Tillmar
AO (2012)

.
FamLinkX
We present a new software,
FamLinkX
, which is a user-friendly software simultaneously accounting for linkage, linkage disequilibrium (LD) and mutations on X-chromosomal data in relationship testing.
FamLinkX
can also simulate genotype data in order to study the effect of accounting for linkage and LD or not.
FamLinkX
is released freely. The method is described in:

A, Egeland T, Mostad P. A general model for likelihood computations of genetic marker data accounting for linkage, linkage disequilibrium, and mutations.
Int
J Legal Med. 2015 Sep;129(5):943-54
. The implementation and validation of
FamLinkX
is outlined in:
