Abstract excerpt
Comparisons between haplotypes from affected patients and the human reference genome are frequently used to identify candidates for disease-causing mutations, even though these alignments are expected to reveal a high level of background neutral polymorphism. This limits the scope of genetic studies to relatively small genomic intervals, because current methods for distinguishing potential causal mutations from...
