Linkage Disequilibrium Correction in Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS)

Research
GWAS
R
This project uses Hidden Markov Model to correct for Linkage Disequilibrium in Genome-Wide Association Study.

Together with my teammate Thu Dang, we learned from an article how to apply the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to prune for linkage disequilibrium. Then, we replicated their results in R using HapMap data to showcase the efficacy of HMM. We additionally conducted a comparison of outcomes employing both traditional GWAS methodology and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) approach for Type I Diabetes.
