Detecting autozygosity through runs of homozygosity: A comparison of three autozygosity detection algorithms

Background A central aim for studying runs of homozygosity (ROHs) in genome-wide SNP data is to detect the effects of autozygosity (stretches of the two homologous chromosomes within the same individual that are identical by descent) on phenotypes. However, it is unknown which current ROH detection...
