ABSTRACT A spin model with parallels to a multi-locus genetic model is presented which makes it possible to calculate the correlation between allelic states at any two loci in a population at equilibrium. The main features are: (1) The decay of correlation with distance may be expressed essentially as a linear combination of two exponentials, one of which dominates when the two loci are sufficiently far apart. (2) The correlation between two loci a specified distance apart is increased as the number of loci in the entire system increases. The results are compared with those of other theoretical models and discussed in the light of available experimental data. Possible ways of generalizing the model are outlined. However, additional experimental data is clearly needed to indicate the genetic relevance of work of this nature.

This work approaches human chromosome mapping by developing algorithms for ordering markers associated with radiation hybrid data. Motivated by the recent work of Boehnke, Lange, and Cox [Am. J. Hum. Genet. 49, 1174 (1991)], we formulate the ordering problem by developing stochastic spin models to search for minimum-break marker configurations. In one particular application, the methods developed are applied to 14 human chromosome-21 markers tested by Cox et al. [Science 250, 245 (1990)]. The methods generate configurations consistent with the best ones found by others. Additionally, we find that the set of low-lying configurations is described by a Markov-like ordering probability distribution. The distribution displays cluster correlations reflecting closely linked loci.
