Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  develop an hidden Markov model (HMM)-based algorithm for computing exact parametric and non-parametric linkage scores in larger pedigrees than was possible before. The algorithm is applicable whenever there are chains of persons in the pedigree with no genetic measurements and with unknown affection status. The algorithm is based on shrinking the state space of the HMM considerably using such chains. In a two g-degree cousins pedigree the reduction drops the state space from being exponential in g to being linear in g. For a Finnish family in which two affected children suffer from a rare cold-inducing sating syndrome,  re able to reduce the state space by more than five orders of magnitude from 250 to 232. In another pedigree of state-space size of 227, used for a study of pituitary adenoma, the state space reduced by a factor of 8.5 and consequently exact linkage scores can now be computed, rather than approximated.#R##N##R##N#Contact: dang@cs.technion.ac.il#R##N##R##N#Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
