Panel construction for mapping in admixed populations via expected mutual information.

Abstract excerpt

Mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium (MALD) is an economical and powerful approach for the identification of genomic regions harboring disease susceptibility genes in recently admixed populations. We develop an information-theory-based measure, called expected mutual information (EMI), which computes the impact of a set of markers on the ability to infer ancestry at each chromosomal location. We then...
