Darkside Tool (Borland Genetics)

The Darkside Tool is a basic phasing tool in the Borland Genetics toolkit.

Darkside is used to reconstruct a partial or full phased parent kit using relatives all on the opposite side the family as the reconstruction target. The tool isolates segments of DNA on the opposite chromosomes copies across the same spans or chromosome as shared DNA between the subject donor and the relative donors. The output is mono and can therefore be combined with DNA from contributors from within a sibling clade, resulting in increased coverage and/or resolution when reconstructing a common target.
