Blossoc is a linkage disequilibrium association
mapping tool that attempts to build (perfect)
genealogies for each site in the input, score
these according to non-random clustering of
affected individuals, and judge high-scoring areas
as likely candidates for containing disease
affecting variation. Building the local genealogy
trees is based on a number of heuristics that are
not guaranteed to build true trees, but have the
advantage over more sophisticated methods of being
extremely fast. Blossoc can therefore handle much
larger data sets than more sophisticated tools,
but at the cost of sacrificing some accuracy.
