Abstract excerpt
In genetic association studies, linkage disequilibrium (LD) within a region can be exploited to select a subset of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to genotype with minimal loss of information. A novel entropy-based method for selecting SNPs is proposed and compared to an existing method based on the coefficient of determination (R2) using simulated data from Genetic Analysis Workshop 14. The effect of the...
