Abstract excerpt
The human genome is estimated to contain one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) every 300 base pairs. The presence of LD between SNP markers can be used to save genotyping cost via appropriate SNP tagging strategies, whereas absence or low level of LD between markers generally increase genotyping cost. It is quite common that a large proportion of tagging SNPs in a tagging scheme often turn out to be singleton...
