FLOSS
Description
The FLOSS software package uses input and output files from the MERLIN linkage analysis package (Abecasis et al, 2002) to perform an ordered subset analysis using either nonparametric linkage analysis z-scores or linear allele sharing model LOD scores.FLOSS was developed by Brian Browning at the University of Auckland.
