Likelihood of being a Mendelian Violation
Given a variant context, this tool uses the genotype likelihoods to assess the likelihood of the site being a mendelian violation versus the likelihood of the site transmitting according to mendelian rules.
Note that this annotation requires a valid ped file.
This tool assumes that the organism is diploid. When multiple trios are present, the annotation is simply the maximum of the likelihood ratios, rather than the strict 1-Prod(1-p_i) calculation, as this can scale poorly for uncertain sites and many trios.
