Blocks of limited haplotype diversity revealed by high-resolution scanning of human chromosome 21.

چکیده
Global patterns of human DNA sequence variation (haplotypes) defined by common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have important implications for identifying disease associations and human traits. We have used high-density oligonucleotide arrays, in combination with somatic cell genetics, to identify a large fraction of all common human chromosome 21 SNPs and to directly observe the haplotype structure defined by these SNPs. This structure reveals blocks of limited haplotype diversity in which more than 80% of a global human sample can typically be characterized by only three common haplotypes.

Haplotype Block Partitioning and tagSNP Selection under the Perfect Phylogeny Model
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most usual form of polymorphism in human genome.Analyses of genetic variations have revealed that individual genomes share common SNP-haplotypes. Theparticular pattern of these common variations forms a block-like structure on human genome. In this work,we develop a new method based on the Perfect Phylogeny Model to identify haplo...
متن کاملEfficient Haplotype Block Partitioning and Tag SNP Selection Algorithms under Various Constraints
Patterns of linkage disequilibrium plays a central role in genome-wide association studies aimed at identifying genetic variation responsible for common human diseases. These patterns in human chromosomes show a block-like structure, and regions of high linkage disequilibrium are called haplotype blocks. A small subset of SNPs, called tag SNPs, is sufficient to capture the haplotype patterns in...
متن کاملHaplotype block partition with limited resources and applications to human chromosome 21 haplotype data.
Recent studies have shown that the human genome has a haplotype block structure such that it can be decomposed into large blocks with high linkage disequilibrium (LD) and relatively limited haplotype diversity, separated by short regions of low LD. One of the practical implications of this observation is that only a small fraction of all the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (referred as "...
متن کاملA dynamic programming algorithm for haplotype block partitioning.
We develop a dynamic programming algorithm for haplotype block partitioning to minimize the number of representative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) required to account for most of the common haplotypes in each block. Any measure of haplotype quality can be used in the algorithm and of course the measure should depend on the specific application. The dynamic programming algorithm is appl...
متن کاملHaplotype Block Partitioning and TagSNP Selection on Human Chromosome 21
A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism or SNP is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide in the genome differs between members of species. Recent research reveals that SNPs within certain haplotype blocks induce only a few distinct common haplotypes in the majority of the population. The existence of haplotype block structures has serious implications for association-based methods...
