Abstract excerpt
Haplotype information could lead to more powerful tests of genetic association than single-locus analyses but it is not easy to estimate haplotype frequencies from genotype data due to phase ambiguity. The challenge is compounded when individuals are pooled together to save costs or to increase sample size, which is crucial in the study of rare variants. Existing expectation-maximization type algorithms are slow...
