Situation A - coupling

 X         Y (A)   X            y(C)
o                   o               
               (B)                  (D)
o                   o

Situation B - repulsion

 X            y    x              Y
o                   o               
                                     
o                   o               
 X             y    x            y

We will consider coupling phase linkage (Situation A).

 X            Y    X             y  
o                   o                Case 1
                                     A+B
o                   o                C+D
 x             y   x             y  

 

 X            Y    x              y  
o                   o                Case 2
                                     A+C
o                   o                B+D
 X             y   x              y  

 

 X            Y    x             y  
o                   o                Case 3
                                     A+D
o                   o                B+C
 x             y   X             y  

There is observable recombination in cases 1 and 3, but not in case 2.


Situation A - Coupling phase.

Case 1 Gametes
 
  (1/2)Xy (1/2)xy
[(1-r)/2]XY [(1-r)/4]XXYy [(1-r)/4]XxYy
[(1-r)/2]xy [(1-r)/4]Xxyy [(1-r)/4]xxyy
(r/2)Xy (r/4)XXyy (r/4)Xxyy
(r/2)xY (r/4)XxYy (r/4)xxYy

Case 2 Gametes
 
  1xy
(1/2)XY (1/2)XxYy
(1/2)Xy (1/2)Xxyy

Case 3 Gametes
 
  (1/2)xy (1/2)Xy
[(1-r)/2]XY [(1-r)/4]XxYy [(1-r)/4]XXYy
[(1-r)/2]xy [(1-r)/4]xxyy [(1-r)/4]Xxyy
(r/2)Xy (r/4)Xxyy (r/4)XXyy
(r/2)xY (r/4)xxYy (r/4)XxYy


Now we will add the probabilities of each type of gamete across cases 1, 2, and 3. We weight each probability by a factor of 1/3 so that the total probability across all three cases will add to unity.

Gametes   Probability   Observed Number
XXYy 1 [ 1-r + 1-r ] = 1-r              
3 4 4 6            
XXyy 1 [ r + r ] = r                
3 4 4 6
XxYy 1 [ 1-r + r + 1 + 1-r + r ] = 1  
3 4 4 2 4 4 3
Xxyy 1 [ 1-r + r + 1 + 1-r + r ] = 1  
3 4 4 2 4 4 3  
xxYy 1 [ r + r ] = r              
3 4 4 6
xxyy 1 [ 1-r + 1-r ] = 1-r              
3 4 4 6

We can double check our results by adding the probabilities of each type of gamete.

1-r + r + 1 + 1 + r + 1-r =1  
6 6 3 3 6 6  

Gametes Probability Observed Number
X_Y_ 1-r + 1 = 1 (3-r) a
6 3 6
X_yy r + 1 = 1 (2+r) b
6 3 6
xxY_ r           c
6          
xxyy 1-r             d
6

Now we can set up the likelihood expression [L(r)], take the Log L(r), take the derivative of Log L(r), set this derivative equal to zero, and solve for r.

L(r)=   n!   ( 3-r ) a ( 2+r ) b ( r ) c ( 1-r ) d
a!b!c!d! 6   6   6   6  

Log[L(r)]=log [    n!    ] + a log ( 3-r ) +b log ( 2+r )
a!b!c!d! 6 6
 
        + c log ( r ) + d log ( 1-r )
6 6

dLogL(r) =0-      a      +      b      +      c      -      d     
dr ( 3-r ) ( 2+r ) ( r ) ( 1-r )
6 6 6 6

0=    -a     +     b     +     c     -     d    
( 3-r ) ( 2+r ) ( r ) ( l-r )
6 6 6 6

  a   +   d   =   b   +  c             
3-r 1-r 2+r r            

a(1-r) + d(3-r) = rb + c(2+r)                    
(3-r)(1-r) r(2+r)                    

a-ar+3d-dr = rb+2c+cr                    
3-4r+r2 2r+r2                    

(a - ar + 3d - dr)(2r + r2) = (3 - 4r + r2)(rb + 2c + cr)

2ar - 2ar2 + a6dr - 2dr2 + ar2 - ar3 + 3dr2 - dr3
= 3rb - 4br2 + br3 + 6c - 8cr + 2cr2 + 3cr
= r3(-a -d -b -c) + r2(-2a - 2d + a + 3d + 4b - 2c + 4c)
        + r(2a + 6d - 3b + 8c - 3c) - 6c
= -nr3 +(-a + 4b + 2c + d)rd +(2a - 3b + 5c + 6d)r - 6c = 0

0 = nr3 +(a - 4b - 2c - d)r2 +(-2a + 3b - 5c - 6d)r + 6c

Solve for r by substituting the actual numbers for a, b, c, and d, then plot f(r) as r is varied. Where f(r) crosses the line at Y = 0 is a solution for r. If 0< r < 0.5, then r is for coupling.
