Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Haplotype inference for short genomic regions is computationally feasible.
  • Phasing long genomic regions is computationally expensive and often relies on heuristic methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient and accurate method for haplotype inference across long genomic regions.
  • To address the computational challenges associated with phasing large-scale genotype data.

Main Methods:

  • A novel approach combining information from local predictions on short, overlapping regions.
  • Phasing is performed by maximizing a natural maximum likelihood criterion.
  • The criterion incorporates physical distances between neighboring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
