Understanding of human variation relevant to association studies can benefit from population comparison, especially comparing populations in the same geographical region. Variations in linkage disequilibrium patterns, in tagSNP sets, and in SNP heterozygosities among populations can be used to infer the evolutionary pattern. We present here a win32 system based Perl/Tk application for visual comparisons of these variations in different populations.
The application package is available at http://info.med.yale.edu/genetics/kkidd/programs.html
与关联研究相关的人类变异理解可从群体比较中受益,特别是比较同一地理区域内的群体。群体间连锁不平衡模式、标签单核苷酸多态性(tagSNP)集以及单核苷酸多态性(SNP)杂合性的变异可用于推断进化模式。我们在此展示一个基于win32系统的Perl/Tk应用程序,用于直观比较不同群体中的这些变异。
