Haplotyping in pedigrees via a genetic algorithm.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide screening for localization of disease genes necessitates the efficient reconstruction of haplotypes of members of a pedigree from genotype data at multiple loci. We propose a genetic algorithmic approach to haplotyping and show that it works fast, efficiently and reliably. This algorithm uses certain principles of biological evolution to find optimal solutions to complex problems. The optimality...
