| Abstract | The use of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has become increasingly important for a wide range of genetic studies. A high-throughput genotyping technology usually involves a statistical algorithm for automatic (non-manual) genotype calling. Most calling algorithms in the literature, using methods such as k-means and mixture-models, rely on elliptical structures of the genotyping intensity data. They may fail when the intensity data have linear patterns. We propose an automatic genotype calling algorithm by further developing a linear grouping algorithm (LGA). The proposed method clusters data points around lines as opposed to around centroids. The clusters are on lines because we do not normalize the intensities. In addition, we associate a quality value, silhouette width, with each DNA sample and with each whole plate. For a data set of 101 SNPs from the TaqMan platform (Applied Biosystems), the LGA algorithm has 100% automatic calling and 93% of samples pass a quality criterion and are assigned a genotype. For a subset of 30 SNPs where validated samples are available, the accuracy for called genotypes is over 98%. Thus, a key feature of applying LGA to unnormalized TaqMan SNP assay fluorescent signals is that it is able to call automatically and realiably a substantial proportion of samples, reducing the need for manual intervention. It could be potentially adapted to other fluorescent-based SNP genotyping technologies such as Invader Assay. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
