title: Direct IBD mapping: identical-by-descent mapping without genotyping.
abstract: Direct identical-by-descent (IBD) mapping is a technique, that combines genomic mismatch scanning (GMS) and DNA microarray technology, for mapping regions shared IBD between two individuals without locus-by-locus genotyping or sequencing. The lack of reagents has limited its widespread application. In particular, two key reagents have been limiting, 1). mismatch repair proteins MutS, L and H, and 2). genomic microarrays for identifying the genomic locations of the GMS-selected IBD fragments. Here, we describe steps that optimized the procedure and resources that will facilitate the development of direct IBD mapping.
