[Biojava-dev] Developing LD visualizer

[Takaho A. Endo]

Dear all,

   I am studying in medical faculty of Tokai University, Japan.
   For a certain sake I have developed a visualizing application of 
linkage disequilibrium.

   The name of the application is ALDER (autonomic linkage 
disequilibrium (LD) expression resources). This is a GOLD(1)-like but 
finer application written in Java, which calculates LD by itself and 
shows LD graphs reflecting marker distance.

   Due to current trend, we are required to show haplotype blocks in 
papers of linkage/association studies.
   I think my application is useful for such purposes.

   You can download binary, sample data and source codes from my 
personal site (2).
   I would like to contribute to BioJava project with my program if you 
accept, although it requires JRE 1.4 or more which is different from 
other codes in your project.
   I am glad with any opinions and comments for my program.

   Best regards.
