NAME

       unknown - identify possible genotypes for unknowns

SYNOPSIS

       A program to rapidly identify which genotypes are possible for individuals typed as unknowns in the input
       pedigree.

       unknown [ -cl ]

DESCRIPTION

       unknown infers possible genotypes  and  mating  combinations  for  parents  with  unknown  genotypes  for
       ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1).

OPTIONS

       -c     Use conditional allele frequencies.

       -l     Choose a good set of loop breakers automatically.

RETURN VALUE

       0     Successful completion

ERRORS

       10    File not found
       255   Failure

EXAMPLES

       Normally,  unknown(1) is run immediately prior to its sister programs, ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1),
       like this:

       unknown
       mlink

FILES

       unknown(1) reads the two files pedfile.dat and  datafile.dat  as  its  own  input  and  produces  various
       temporary  files  that  are  used  as  input to the next program. These temporary files are ipedfile.dat,
       upedfile.dat, speedfile.dat and newspeedfile.dat.

NOTES

       unknown(1) is part of the FASTLINK package, which is a re-implementation of the LINKAGE suite of computer
       tools  that help investigate genetic linkage as first proposed G.M. Lathrop, J.M. Lalouel, C. Julier, and
       J. Ott.
