Abstract

Effective linkage detection and gene mapping requires analysis of data jointly on members of extended pedigrees, jointly at multiple genetic markers. Exact likelihood computation is then often infeasible, but Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods permit estimation of posterior probabilities of genome sharing among relatives, conditional upon marker data. In principle, MCMC also permits estimation of linkage analysis location score curves, but in practice effective MCMC samplers are hard to find. Although the whole‐meiosis Gibbs sampler (M‐sampler) performs well in some cases, for extended pedigrees and tightly linked markers better samplers are needed. However, using the M‐sampler as a proposal distribution in a Metropolis‐Hastings algorithm does allow genetic interference to be incorporated into the analysis. La détection efficace de liaisons et la cartographie génique suppose l'analyse simultanée de données provenant de membre de lignées, étendues, cela pour plusieurs marqueurs génétiques. Un calcul de vraisemblance exact est souvent impossible, mais une méthode de Monte‐Carlo par chaines de Markov permet I'estimation de probabilités a posteriori conditionnelles probabilité qu' une partie de génomesoit commune à deux parents, sachant quels marqueurs génétiques; les caractérisent, La méthode permet aussi en principe d' estimer les courbes de score pour les differentes positions de liaisons, mains en partique, un échantillonneur efficace estdifficile à obtenir. Bien que I' échantilonneur de Gibbs pour la méiose, compléte done de bons résultats dans certains cas, pour des lignées étendues et des marqueurs étroitement liées, de meillecures procédures, d'échantillonnage sont nécessaires. Toutefois, utiliser un échantillonneur de Gibbs comme proposition (distribution initiale)dans un algorithme de Metropolis‐Hastings permet de prendre en complete les interférences, génétiques dans l'analyse.
