LinkImpute

LinkImpute

A tool for genotype imputation for non-model organisms. The LinkImpute algorithm works on unphased data from heterozygous species. It uses the k-nearest neighbor genotype imputation technique (LD-kNNi) and does not require physical or genetic maps. LinkImpute is available in two versions, Java and as an R package. Other names: LinkImputeR.
