Open AccessMarkov chain Monte Carlo Gibbs sampler approach for estimating haplotype frequencies among multiple malaria infected human blood samples
Malaria patients can have two or more haplotypes in their blood sample making it challenging to identify which haplotypes they carry. In addition, there are challenges in measuring the type and frequency of re...

Open AccessMarkov chain Monte Carlo and expectation maximization approaches for estimation of haplotype frequencies for multiply infected human blood samples
Haplotypes are important in anti-malarial drug resistance because genes encoding drug resistance may accumulate mutations at several codons in the same gene, each mutation increasing the level of drug resistan...

Open AccessAPOE/C1/C4/C2 Gene Cluster Genotypes, Haplotypes and Lipid Levels in Prospective Coronary Heart Disease Risk Among UK Healthy Men
The role of common APOE variants on plasma lipids, particularly low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk is well known; the influence of variation in the other nearby apolipopro...
