The effect of single-nucleotide polymorphism marker selection on patterns of haplotype blocks and haplotype frequency estimates.
American journal of human genetics - 1 Dec 2005
Nothnagel Michael, Rohde Klaus
Abstract excerpt
The definition of haplotype blocks of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been proposed so that the haplotypes can be used as markers in association studies and to efficiently describe human genetic variation. The International Haplotype Map (HapMap) project to construct a comprehensive ca...
