About:
Blossoc is a linkage disequilibrium association mapping tool that attempts
to build (perfect) genealogies for each site in the input, score these
according to non-random clustering of affected individuals, and judge
high-scoring areas as likely candidates for containing disease affecting
variation. Building the local genealogy trees is based on a number of
heuristics that are not guaranteed to build true trees, but have the
advantage over more sophisticated methods of being extremely fast. Blossoc
can therefore handle much larger data sets than more sophisticated tools,
but at the cost of sacrificing some accuracy. 

Changes:
This version includes improved scoring functions; options for enforcing
minimal blocks to use in constructing local trees; and an option for
performing permutation-tests of significance.
