Abstract: | Automatic genotype elimination algorithms for a single locus play a central role in making likelihood computations on human pedigree data feasible. We present a simple algorithm that is fully efficient in pedigrees without loops. This algorithm can be easily coded and has been instrumental in greatly reducing computing times for pedigree analysis. A contrived counter-example demonstrates that some superfluous genotypes cannot be excluded for inbred pedigrees. |
