| Abstract | Background In recent years genetic data analysis has seen a rapid increase in the scale of data to be analyzed. Schadt et al (NRG 11:647-657, 2010) offered that with data sets approaching the petabyte scale, data related challenges such as formatting, management, and transfer are increasingly important topics which need to be addressed. The use of succinct data structures is one method of reducing physical size of a data set without the use of expensive compression techniques. In this work, we consider the use of 2- and 3-bit encoding schemes for genotype data. We compare the computational performance of allele or genotype counting algorithms utilizing genotype data encoded in both schemes. Results We perform a comparison of 2- and 3-bit genotype encoding schemes for use in genotype counting algorithms. We find that there is a 20% overhead when building simple frequency tables from 2-bit encoded genotypes. However, building pairwise count tables for genome-wide epistasis is 1.0% more efficient. Conclusions In this work, we were concerned with comparing the performance benefits and disadvantages of using more densely packed genotype data representations in Genome Wide Associations Studies (GWAS). We implemented a 2-bit encoding for genotype data, and compared it against a more commonly used 3-bit encoding scheme. We also developed a C++ library, libgwaspp, which offers these data structures, and implementations of several common GWAS algorithms. In general, the 2-bit encoding consumes less memory, and is slightly more efficient in some algorithms than the 3-bit encoding. |

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.
