    Accessibility of high-throughput genotyping technology makes possible genome-wide association studies for common complex diseases. When dealing with common diseases, it is necessary to search and analyze multiple independent causes resulted from interactions of multiple genes scattered over the entire genome. The optimization formulations for searching disease-associated risk/resistant factors and predicting disease susceptibility for given case-control study have been introduced. Several discrete methods for disease association search exploiting greedy strategy and topological properties of case-control studies have been developed. New disease susceptibility prediction methods based on the developed search methods have been validated on datasets from case-control studies for several common diseases. Our experiments compare favorably the proposed algorithms with the existing association search and susceptibility prediction methods

    Family trio phasing and missing data recovery

    Abstract: Although there exist many phasing methods for unrelated adults or pedigrees, phasing and missing data recovery for data representing family trios is lagging behind. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap by considering the following problem. Given a set of genotypes partitioned into family trios, find for each trio a quartet of parent/offspring haplotypes explaining each trio without recombinations and recovering the SNP values missed in given genotype data. Our contributions include • formulating the pure-parsimony trio phasing without recombinations and the trio missing data recovery problems • proposing new greedy and integer linear programming based solution methods • extensive experimental validation of proposed methods showin
