Fast and accurate genotype imputation in genome-wide association studies through pre-phasing

Gonçalo Abecasis, Jonathan Marchini and colleagues report a pre-phasing strategy for genotype imputation in GWAS, which they show maintains accuracy while substantially lowering computational costs. Their approach has been implemented in both MACH and IMPUTE 2.0 software. The 1000 Genomes Project an...
