title: Grouper--creation of marker sets for multiplexed genotyping.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Efficient high-throughput genotyping experiments require the multiplexing of polymorphic markers, i.e. the use of multiple markers with non-overlapping allele size ranges in a single lane of a genotyping gel. The arrangement of such markers into sets can be facilitated by the availability of appropriate computer software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This article describes a program, Grouper, that automates the generation of marker sets for multiplexed genotyping experiments.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  The software described in this article is available free of charge from the EBI software archive at (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/unix).
