Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most frequent form of human genetic variations and of importance for medical diagnosis and tracking disease genes. A haplotype is a sequence of SNPs from a single copy of a chromosome, and haplotype assembly from SNP fragments is based on DNA fragments with SNPs and the methodology of shotgun sequence assembly. In contrast to conventional combinatorial models which aim...
