GeneRecon is a software package for linkage
disequilibrium mapping using coalescent theory. It
is based on a Bayesian Markov-chain Monte Carlo
(MCMC) method for fine-scale
linkage-disequilibrium gene mapping using
high-density marker maps. GeneRecon explicitly
models the genealogy of a sample of the case
chromosomes in the vicinity of a disease locus.
Given case and control data in the form of
genotype or haplotype information, it estimates a
number of parameters, most importantly, the
disease position.
