Haplotypes have gained increasing attention in the mapping of complex-disease genes, because of the abundance of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the limited power of conventional single-locus analyses. It has been shown that haplotype-inference methods such as Clark’s algorithm, the expectation-maximization algorithm, and a coalescence-based iterative-sampling algorithm are fairly effective and economical alternatives to molecular-hap-lotyping methods. To contend with some weaknesses of the existing algorithms, we propose a new Monte Carlo approach. In particular, we first partition the whole haplotype into smaller segments. Then, we use the Gibbs sampler both to construct the partial haplotypes of each segment and to assemble all the segments together. Our algorithm can accurately and rapidly infer haplotypes for a large number of linked SNPs. By using a wide variety of real and simulated data sets, we demonstrate the advantages of our Bayesian algorithm, and we show that it is robust to the violation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, to the presence of missing data, and to occurrences of recombination hotspots.

Critical to the understanding of the genetic basis for complex diseases is the modeling of human variation. Most of this variation can be characterized by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are mutations at a single nucleotide position. To characterize the genetic variation between different people, we must determine an individual’s haplotype or which nucleotide base occurs at each position of these common SNPs for each chromosome. In this paper, we present results for a highly accurate method for haplotype resolution from genotype data. Our method leverages a new insight into the underlying structure of haplotypes which shows that SNPs are organized in highly correlated “blocks”. In a few recent studies (see Daly et al. (2001); Patil et al. (2001)), considerable parts of the human genome were partitioned into blocks, such that the majority of the sequenced genotypes have one of about four common haplotypes in each block. Our method partitions the SNPs into blocks and for each block, we predict the common haplotypes and each individual’s haplotype. We evaluate our method over biological data. Our method predicts the common haplotypes perfectly and has a very low error rate (less than ¢ ¡ over the data from Daly et al. (2001).) when taking into account the predictions for the uncommon haplotypes. Our method is extremely efficient compared to previous methods, such as PHASE and HAPLOTYPER. Its efficiency allows us to find the block partition of the haplotypes, to cope with missing data and to work with large data sets. Availability: The algorithm is available via webserver at

Each person’s genome contains two copies of each chromosome, one inherited from the father and the other from the mother. A person’s genotype specifies the pair of bases at each site, but does not specify which base occurs on which chromosome. The sequence of each chromosome separately is called a haplotype. The determination of the haplotypes within a population is essential for understanding genetic variation and the inheritance of complex diseases. The haplotype mapping project, a successor to the human genome project, seeks to determine the common haplotypes in the human population. Since experimental determination of a person’s genotype is less expensive than determining its component haplotypes, algorithms are required for computing haplotypes from genotypes. Two observations aid in this process: first, the human genome contains short blocks within which only a few different haplotypes occur; second, as suggested by Gusfield, it is reasonable to assume that the haplotypes observed within a block have evolved according to a perfect phylogeny, in which at most one mutation event has occurred at any site, and no recombination occurred at the given region. We present a simple and efficient polynomial-time algorithm for inferring haplotypes from the genotypes of a set of individuals assuming a perfect phylogeny. Using a reduction to 2-SAT we extend this algorithm to handle constraints that apply when we have genotypes from both parents and child. We also present a hardness result for the problem of removing the minimum number of individuals from a population to ensure that the genotypes of the remaining individuals are consistent with a perfect phylogeny. Our algorithms have been tested on real data and give biologically meaningful results. Our webserver

Motivation: Haplotypes have been attracting increasing attention because of their importance in analysis of many fine-scale molecular-genetics data. Since direct sequencing of haplotype via experimental methods is both time-consuming and expensive, haplotype inference methods that infer haplotypes based on genotype samples become attractive alternatives. Results: (1) We design and implement an algorithm for an important computational model of haplotype inference that has been suggested before in several places. The model finds a set of minimum number of haplotypes that explains the genotype samples. (2) Strong supports of this computational model are given based on the computational results on both real data and simulation data. (3) We also did some comparative study to show the strength and weakness of this computational model using our program. Availability: The software HAPAR is free for non-commercial uses.

Our method predicts the common haplotypes perfectly and has a very low error rate (0.47%) when taking into account the predictions for the uncommon haplotypes. Our method is extremely efficient compared to previous methods, (a matter of seconds where previous methods needed hours). Its efficiency allows us to find the block partition of the haplotypes, to cope with missing data and to work with large data sets such as genotypes for thousands of SNPs for hundreds of individuals.

Abstract. It is widely anticipated that the study of variation in the human genome will provide a means of predicting risk of a variety of complex diseases. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genomic variation. Haplotypes have been suggested as one means for reducing the complexity of studying SNPs. In this paper we review some of the computational approaches that have been taking for determining haplotypes and suggest new approaches. 1

We study the parsimony approach to haplotype inference, which calls for finding a set of haplotypes of minimum cardinality that explains an input set of genotypes. We prove that the problem is APX-hard even in very restricted cases. On the positive side, we identify islands of tractability for the problem, by focusing on instances with specific structure of haplotype sharing among the input genotypes. We exploit the structure of those instance to give polynomial and constant-approximation algorithms to the problem. We also show that the general parsimony haplotyping problem is fixed parameter tractable.
