Simulation of Chromosomal Regions Shared by Family Members
Description
Simulation of segments shared identical-by-descent (IBD) by
pedigree members. Using sex specific recombination rates along the human
genome (Kong et. al (2010) ), phased chromosomes
are simulated for all pedigree members, either by unconditional gene
dropping or conditional on a specified IBD pattern. Additional functions
provide summaries and further analysis of the simulated genomes.
