title: The number of loci needed for ELOD calculations.
abstract: This theoretical approach to multiple markers considers the problem of a trait locus flanked by an arbitrary number of linked, ordered markers. Using the criterion of the Expected LOD score (ELOD) for mating, an algorithm is developed to specify the subset of markers required to provide the full linkage information available from a given parental genotype.
