Generating linkage mapping files from Affymetrix SNP chip data.
CONCLUSIONS
LINKDATAGEN is a perl tool that generates linkage mapping input files for five different linkage mapping tools using data from all 11 HAPMAP Phase III populations. It provides rudimentary error checks and is easily amended for personal linkage mapping preferences.


METHODS
LINKDATAGEN is available from http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/software/linkdatagen/ with accompanying annotation files, reference manual and test dataset.
