UNLABELLED: We have generated the program easyLINKAGE that combines automated setup and performance of linkage analyses and simulation under an easy to handle graphical user interface for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and standard UNIX systems. The program package supports two-point linkage analyses (FastLink v4. 1 and SPLink v1. 09), multi-point linkage analyses GENEHUNTER v2. 1, GENEHUNTER-PLUS with the emendation by Kong and Cox v1. 2 (allele sharing modelling) and the simulation package SLINK v2. 65, and provides genome-wide as well as chromosomal postscript plots of LOD scores, NPL scores, P-values and other parameters.
