Abstract excerpt
Genotyping costs still preclude analysis of a comprehensive SNP map in thousands of individual subjects in the search for disease susceptibility loci. Allele frequency estimation in DNA pools from cases and controls offers a partial solution, but variance in these estimates will result in some loss of statistical power. However, there has been no systematic attempt to quantify the several sources of error in...
