X Abstract

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most frequent form of human genetic variations and of importance for medical diagnosis and tracking disease genes. A haplotype is a sequence of SNPs from a single copy of a chromosome, and haplotype assembly from SNP fragments is based on DNA fragments with SNPs and the methodology of shotgun sequence assembly. In contrast to conventional combinatorial models which aim at different error types in SNP fragments, in this paper we propose a new statistical model - a Markov chain model for haplotype assembly based on information of SNP fragments. The main advantage of this model over combinatorial ones is that it requires no prior information on error types in data. In addition, unlike exact algorithms with the exponential-time computation complexity for most combinatorial models, the proposed model can be solved in polynomial time and thus is efficient for large-scale problems. Experiment results on several data sets illustrate the effectiveness of the new method.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
