Primary Institution: Bioinformatics Institute

Hypothesis

Can genotype data from the International HapMap Project be effectively used to analyze haplotype structures in local populations?

Conclusion

The iHAP resource provides a convenient and flexible approach for analyzing HapMap data and identifying candidate targets for genotyping studies.

Supporting Evidence

  • iHAP integrates data from the International HapMap Project and the UCSC Genome Browser Database.
  • The tool allows for real-time analysis and graphical display of haplotype structures.
  • Users can customize their analysis by selecting specific SNPs to include.

Takeaway

iHAP is a tool that helps scientists understand genetic variations by analyzing data from different populations, making it easier to find important genetic markers.

Methodology

The iHAP resource was developed as a web-based tool that integrates genotype and haplotype data from the International HapMap Project and the UCSC Genome Browser Database.
