چکیده

We study the single individual SNP haplotype reconstruction problem. We introduce a simple heuristic and prove experimentally that is very fast and accurate. In particular, when compared with a dynamic programming of [8] it is much faster and also more accurate. We expect Fast Hare to be very useful in practical applications. We also introduce a combinatorial problem related to the SNP haplotype reconstruction problem that we call Min Element Removal. We prove its NP-hardness in the gapless case and its O(log n)-approximability in the general case.

FastHap: fast and accurate single individual haplotype reconstruction using fuzzy conflict graphs

MOTIVATION Understanding exact structure of an individual's haplotype plays a significant role in various fields of human genetics. Despite tremendous research effort in recent years, fast and accurate haplotype reconstruction remains as an active research topic, mainly owing to the computational challenges involved. Existing haplotype assembly algorithms focus primarily on improving accuracy o...

The linkage method: a novel approach for SNP detection and haplotype reconstruction from a single diploid individual using next-generation sequence data.

When we sequence a diploid individual, the output actually comprises two genomes: one from the paternal parent and the other from the maternal parent. In this study, we introduce a novel heuristic algorithm for distinguishing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the two parents and phasing them into haplotypes. The algorithm is unique because it simultaneously performs SNP calling and ha...

Using Harmony Clustering for Haplotype Reconstruction from SNP fragments

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), a single DNA base varying from one individual to another, are believed to be the most frequent form responsible for genetic differences. Haplotypes have more information for disease-associating than individual SNPs or genotypes; it is substantially more difficult to determine haplotypes through experiments. Hence, computational methods that can reduce the...

Haplotype Block Partitioning and tagSNP Selection under the Perfect Phylogeny Model

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most usual form of polymorphism in human genome.Analyses of genetic variations have revealed that individual genomes share common SNP-haplotypes. Theparticular pattern of these common variations forms a block-like structure on human genome. In this work,we develop a new method based on the Perfect Phylogeny Model to identify haplo...

O-36: Genome Haplotyping and Detection of Meiotic Homologous Recombination Sites in Single Cells, A Generic Method for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis

Background: Haplotyping is invaluable not only to identify genetic variants underlying a disease or trait, but also to study evolution and population history as well as meiotic and mitotic recombination processes. Current genome-wide haplotyping methods rely on genomic DNA that is extracted from a large number of cells. Thus far random allele drop out and preferential amplification artifacts of...
