VITESSE is a software package that computes likelihoods with the functionality of the LINKMAP and MLINK programs from LINKAGE.
VITESSE uses the novel algorithms of set-recoding and fuzzy inheritance to reduce the number of genotypes needed for exact computation of the likelihood, which accelerates the calculation. It also represents multilocus genotypes locus-by-locus to reduce the memory requirements.
The algorithms in VITESSE were developed and coded by Jeff O'Connell at the University of Pittsburgh. Dan Weeks at the University of Pittsburgh and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at Oxford University collaborated.
