Abstract excerpt
We present a new stochastic model for genotype generation. The model offers a compromise between rigid block structure and no structure altogether: It reflects a general blocky structure of haplotypes, but also allows for "exchange" of haplotypes at nonboundary SNP sites; it also accommodates rare haplotypes and mutations. We use a hidden Markov model and infer its parameters by an expectation-maximization...
