ALOHOMORA Copyright (c) 2003-2007 Franz Rüschendorf ALOHOMORA is a software tool designed to facilitate genome-wide linkage studies performed with high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker panels such as the Affymetrix GeneChip(R) Human Mapping 10K Array. In ALOHOMORA_M M stands for Mega chips. Use this version for 500K or 1M arrays. Legalities *=*=*=*=*=* The ALOHOMORA software package can be downloaded for free by non commercial users.
