Abstract

A Linkage based Imputation Method for Missing SNP Markers in Association Mapping

Association mapping has been widely used in detecting genetic markers associated with traits of importance in research areas such as plant breeding, human disease and animal breeding. In recent years, various useful statistical methods and computing tools have been developed for association mapping studies. One of the critical challenges in association mapping is missing markers.
