Inference of haplotypic phase and missing genotypes in polyploid organisms and variable copy number genomic regions
Background: The power of haplotype-based methods for association studies, identification of regions under selection, and ancestral inference, is well-established for diploid organ...

NullHap - a versatile application to estimate haplotype frequencies from unphased genotypes in the presence of null alleles
Background: Laboratory techniques used to determine haplotypes are often too expensive for large-scale studies and lack of phase information is commonly overcome using likelihood-...

A novel approach for haplotype-based association analysis using family data
Background: Haplotype-based approaches have been extensively studied for case-control association mapping in recent years. It has been shown that haplotype methods can provide mor...

HAPLOPOOL: improving haplotype frequency estimation through DNA pools and phylogenetic modeling
In the context of disease association studies, haplotype frequencies are usually estimated from genotype data. In order to reduce genotyping costs, one can estimate the haplotype ...

The Complexity of the Single Individual SNP Haplotyping Problem
— We present several new results pertaining to haplotyping. These results concern the combinatorial problem of reconstructing haplotypes from incomplete and/or imperfectly sequen...

Islands of Tractability for Parsimony Haplotyping
We study the parsimony approach to haplotype inference, which calls for finding a set of haplotypes of minimum cardinality that explains an input set of genotypes. We prove that ...
