This work directly impacts the interpretation of association studies by improving our understanding of accuracy assessments of imputed variants.

Keywords: imputation, genetic association, tagging, statistical genetics, population genetics, synthetic association, genome-wide association.

Transferability of multi-marker tagging is assessed. Tagging and imputation are compared, and a method of using tagging to select a reduced tag set to be used for imputation.

Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified many genetic variants that are associated with a variety of complex phenotypes, including anthropometric and lifestyle traits as well as complex diseases.

Notably, one of the novel TGs-associated genes, SIK family kinase 3 (SIK3), harbors an Amerindian-specific common risk variant (allele frequency=18% in Mexicans), which is not observed in other continental populations, and the risk allele ...

This volume edited by key researchers Mike Waterman and Terry Speed reviews recent progress in the area, with an emphasis on the theory and application of genetic mapping.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2012, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in August 2012.

We thank all the authors and the publishers Springer, Germany for providing us an opportunity to review the bioinformatics works that the authors have carried in the recent past and hope the readers would find this book attention grabbing.

This volume provides a practical guide and an aid to disease recognition. This is an updated and extended version of the first publication in 1996 and contains around 400 high quality colour photomicrographs.

This series continually publishes important reviews of the broadest interest to geneticists and their colleagues in affiliated disciplines.
