Estimating Interference and Linkage Map Distance from Two-Factor Tetrad Data

F W Stahl 1, R Lande 1
PMCID: PMC1206470  PMID: 7768452

Abstract

We present methods for using the model of FOSS, LANDE, STAHL and STEINBERG to estimate interference and map distances from two-factor tetrad data. We illustrate the application of the methods with data from Neurospora and from Saccharomyces.
