This study introduces three C subroutines using binary and mixed-radix numbers for efficient gene counting. These algorithms simplify genetic analysis by improving haplotype enumeration and frequency indexing.

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Gene counting procedures often require complex data handling and analysis.
  • Existing methods may lack efficiency or portability for diverse genetic analyses.
  • Novel algorithmic approaches are needed to streamline genetic marker analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present three novel C subroutines for gene counting.
  • To demonstrate the application of binary and mixed-radix number algorithms in genetic analysis.
  • To enhance the efficiency and portability of gene-counting procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a multikey radix-sorting subroutine for tallying individuals with similar genetic markers.
  • Implementation of an N-ary number addition subroutine for enumerating heterozygote phases.

  • Utilization of a mixed-radix number subroutine for generating haplotypes and indexing frequencies.

    • Main Results:

    • The multikey radix-sorting algorithm shows broad applicability in genetic marker analysis.
    • N-ary and mixed-radix number algorithms provide efficient solutions for enumerating heterozygote phases and haplotypes.
    • Gene counting implementation using these algorithms avoids multilocus genotype identifiers, enhancing portability.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented C subroutines offer simple, elegant, and efficient solutions for gene-counting procedures.
    • These algorithms improve the enumeration of genetic variations, such as heterozygote phases and haplotypes.
    • The enhanced gene-counting method increases portability and applicability across different genetic analysis contexts.
