Abstract

In this paper, we develop a probabilistic model to approach two scenarios in reality about the singular haplotype reconstruction problem - the incompleteness and inconsistency occurred in the DNA sequencing process to generate the input haplotype fragments and the common practice used to generate synthetic data in experimental algorithm studies. We design three algorithms in the model that can reconstruct the two unknown haplotypes from the given matrix of haplotype fragments with provable high probability and in time linear in the size of the input matrix. We also present experimental results that conform with the theoretical efficient performance of those algorithms. The software of our algorithms is available for public access and for real-time on-line demonstration.
