Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Selecting SNP markers for genome-wide association studies is an important and challenging task. The goal is to minimize the number of markers selected for genotyping in a particular platform and therefore reduce genotyping cost while simultaneously maximizing the information content provided by selected markers. RESULTS: We devised an improved algorithm for tagSNP selection using the pairwise r(2)...
