Automatic block-wise genotype-phenotype association detection based on hidden Markov model.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: For detecting genotype-phenotype association from case-control single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, one class of methods relies on testing each genomic variant site individually. However, this approach ignores the tendency for associated variant sites to be spatially clustered instead of uniformly distributed along the genome. Therefore, a more recent class of methods looks for blocks of...
