Abstract excerpt
Haplotypes include essential SNP information used for a variety of purposes such as investigating potential links between certain diseases and genetic variations. Given a set of genotypes, the haplotype inference problem based on pure parsimony is the problem of finding a minimum set of haplotypes that explains all the given genotypes. The problem is especially important because, while it is fairly inexpensive to...
