Detection of recombination events, haplotype reconstruction and imputation of sires using half-sib SNP genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Identifying recombination events and the chromosomal segments that constitute a gamete is useful for a number of applications in genomic analyses. In livestock, genotypic data are commonly available for half-sib families. We propose a straightforward but computationally efficient method to use single nucleotide polymorphism marker genotypes on half-sibs to reconstruct the recombination and segregation...
