| Abstract | The next high-priority phase of human genomics will involve the development of a full Haplotype Map of the human genome [12]. It will be used in large-scale screens of populations to associate specific haplotypes with specific complex genetic-influenced diseases. A prototype Haplotype Mapping strategy is presently being finalized by an NIH working-group. The biological key to that strategy is the surprising fact that genomic DNA can be partitioned into long blocks where genetic recombination has been rare, leading to strikingly fewer distinct haplotypes in the population than previously expected [12, 6, 21, 7].In this paper we explore the algorithmic implications of the key (and now realistic) "no-recombination in long blocks" observation, for the problem of inferring haplotypes in populations. We observe that the no-recombination assumption is very powerful. This assumption, along with the standard population-genetic assumption of infinite sites [23, 14] imposes severe combinatorial constraints on the permitted solutions to the haplotype inference problem, leading to an efficient deterministic algorithm to deduce all features of the permitted haplotype solution(s) that can be known with certainty. The technical key is to view haplotype data as disguised information about paths in an unknown tree, and the haplotype deduction problem as a problem of reconstructing the tree from that path information. This formulation allows us to exploit deep theorems and algorithms from graph and matroid theory to efficiently find one permitted solution to the haplotype problem; it gives a simple test to determine if it is the unique solution; if not, we can implicitly represent the set of all permitted solutions so that each can be efficiently created. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
