Predicted genotypic indicator variable and its probability distribution for the four flanking marker genotypes in backcross progeny
| Marker class | x̂j = pj(1) = Pr(xj = 1|m1j, m2j) | Pr(m1j, m2j) |
|---|---|---|
| m1j = 1, m2j = 1 | (1 – r1)(1 – r2)/(1 – r) | (1 – r)/2 |
| m1j = 1, m2j = 0 | (1 – r1)r2/r | r/2 |
| m1j = 0, m2j) = 1 | r1(1 – r2)/r | r/2 |
| m1j = 0, m2j = 0 | r1r2/(1 – r) | (1 – r)/2 |
r is the recombination frequency between m1 and m2.
