Abstract excerpt
We study the parsimony approach to haplotype inference, which calls for finding a set of haplotypes of minimum cardinality that explains an input set of genotypes. We prove that the problem is APX-hard even in very restricted cases. On the positive side, we identify islands of tractability for the problem, by focusing on instances with specific structure of haplotype sharing among the input genotypes. We exploit...
