The present invention relates to a method for gene mapping from chromosome and
phenotype data, which utilizes linkage disequilibrium between genetic markers mi,
which are polymorphic nucleic acid or protein sequences or strings of single-nucleotide
polymorphisms deriving from a chromosomal region. All marker patterns P that satisfy
a certain pattern evaluation function e(P) are searched from the data, each marker
mi of the data is scored by a marker score and the location of the gene
is predicted as a function of the scores s(mi) of all the markers mi
in the data.
