Survey on Tag SNP selection methods using soft computing techniques
Divya Nair, Keerthana Dayanand, M. V. Judy · 2015
SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, frequently called "snips") are used in order to decide how the alleles at different locations are associated with each other. This association is given by Linkage Disequilibrium. A representative subset of SNPs called tag SNPs helps ascertaining genetic variation and its coalition to phenotypes, without genotyping each and every SNP. For this reason the time and expense for association studies is reduced. In this paper we carry out a survey of various methods used for tag SNP selection, such as GTagger Algorithm (Genetic Tagger), Chaos embedded Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) and Multiple Ant Colony Algorithm (MACA).
