Genotype Imputation to Increase Sample Size in Pedigreed Populations

关键词: genotype imputation来源: 互联网

Genotype imputation is a cost-effective way to increase the power of genomic selection or genome-wide association studies. While several genotype imputation algorithms are available, this chapter focuses on a heuristic algorithm, as implemented in the AlphaImpute software. This algorithm combines long-range phasing, haplotype library imputation, and segregation analysis and it is specifically designed to work with pedigreed populations. The chapter is organized in different sections. First the challenges related to genotype imputation in pedigreed populations are described, along with the specifics of the imputation algorithm used in AlphaImpute. In the second section, factors affecting the accuracy of genotype imputation using this algorithm are discussed. The different parameters that control AlphaImpute are detailed and examples of how to apply AlphaImpute are given.
