What is RECORD?

RECORD

RECORD, which stands for REcombination Counting and ORDering, is a nifty little application made for ordering loci on genetic linkage maps. If you're into genetics or just curious about how things work in that field, this tool might be right up your alley!

What Does RECORD Do?

This handy app helps researchers minimize the total number of recombination events when working with genetic data. It's all about making things simpler and more efficient when it comes to analyzing genetic links.

A Smart Search Algorithm

The cool part? RECORD uses a smart search algorithm! This method is a heuristic procedure that combines branch-and-bound techniques with local reshuffling. In simple terms, it finds the best way to order loci while keeping everything tidy. It’s like having a really smart friend who helps you organize your notes!

Free for Non-Commercial Use

Note: You can use RECORD for free as long as it’s not for commercial purposes. So if you're a student or just doing some research, this software could be perfect for you!
