Simulation of Chromosomal Regions Shared by Family Members
Simulation of segments shared identical-by-descent (IBD) by pedigree members. Using sex specific recombination rates along the human genome (Kong et. al (2010) <doi:10.1038/nature09525>), 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.
