But also note that Solar's native way of using many markers is an
*approximation* based on the single point IBD estimates at each of the
markers. For more reliable results you need to get true multipoint IBD
estimates, which at this point can only be obtained with one of several
Monte Carlo-based methods, for large pedigrees.
