SHAPEIT4: An algorithm for large-scale genomic analysis

Friday, December 20, 2019 - 13:10 in Biology & Nature

Haplotypes are a set of genetic variations that, located side by side on the same chromosome, are transmitted in a single group to the next generation. Their examination makes it possible to understand the heritability of certain complex traits, such as the risk of developing a disease. However, to carry out this analysis, genome analysis of family members (parents and their child) is usually necessary, a tedious and expensive process.
