Abstract excerpt
The high frequency of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human genome presents an unparalleled opportunity to track down the genetic basis of common diseases. At the same time, the sheer number of SNPs also makes unfeasible genome-wide disease association studies. The haplotypic nature of the human genome, however, lends itself to the selection of a parsimonious set of SNPs, called haplotype tagging...
