Description:
The theoretical covariance between pairs of markers is calculated from either paternal haplotypes and maternal linkage disequilibrium (LD) or vise versa. A genetic map is required. Grouping of markers is based on the correlation matrix and a representative marker is suggested for each group. Employing the correlation matrix, optimal sample size can be derived for association studies based on a SNP-BLUP approach. The implementation relies on paternal half-sib families and biallelic markers. If maternal half-sib families are used, the roles of sire/dam are swapped. Multiple families can be considered.
