      Life


      Elston was born in London, England in 1932.
      In the 1970s he worked with John Stewart to create the Elston–Stewart algorithm which enables researchers to estimate the likelihood of genotype data given a pedigree.
      In 1980s Elston was working at the Louisiana State University Medical School in New Orleans working on statistical genetics. Elston left LSU for Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland in 1995 taking other staff with him.
