ABSTRACT
The uneven recombination structure of human DNA has been highlighted by several recent studies. Knowledge of the haplotype blocks generated by this phenomenon can be applied to dramatically increase the statistical power of genetic mapping. Several criteria have already been proposed for identifying these blocks, all of which require haplotypes as input. We propose a comprehensive statistical model of haplotype block variation and show how the parameters of this model can be learned from haplotypes and/or unphased genotype data. Using real-world SNP data, we demonstrate that our approach can be used to resolve genotypes into their constituent haplotypes with greater accuracy than previously known methods.

Maximum likelihood resolution of multi-block genotypes
RECOMB '04: Proceedings of the eighth annual international conference on Research in computational molecular biologyWe present a new algorithm for the problems of genotype phasing and block partitioning. Our algorithm is based on a new stochastic model, and on the novel concept of probabilistic common haplotypes. We formulate the goals of genotype resolving and block ...
