## Abstract The importance of haplotype analysis in the context of association fine mapping of disease genes has grown steadily over the last years. Since experimental methods to determine haplotypes on a large scale are not available, phase has to be inferred statistically. For individual genotype

β¦ Synopsis
The present paper demonstrates algorithms for applying gene counting estimation of haplotype frequencies in very large genetic systems. A factor union representation of phenotypes is used which conveniently yields the sets of potential haplotypes and diplotypes for each phenotype. Methods for storing and rapidly retrieving the relevant haplotypes are given. An example with several hundred frequencies is given which required a few seconds computing time for each estimation iteration on a small computer.
A computer program employing the methods described has been written in Fortran-77 and is available to any investigator on request.

The program which is written in FORTRAN estimates haplotype frequencies in two-locus and three-locus genetic systems from population diploid data. It is based on the gene counting method which leads to maximum likelihood estimates, and can be used whenever the possible antigens (one or more) on each
## Abstract Genomeβwide association studies may be necessary to identify genes underlying certain complex diseases. Because such studies can be extremely expensive, DNA pooling has been introduced, as it may greatly reduce the genotyping burden. Parallel to DNA pooling developments, the importance

## Abstract Haplotype inference for tightly linked markers from general pedigrees remains a challenging problem. Only a few methods are available to efficiently and accurately estimate haplotype frequencies and reconstruct haplotypes for a large number of tightly linked markers from general pedigre
## Abstract Haplotypes are useful for both fineβmapping of susceptibility loci and evaluation of sequence variation at multiple sites along a chromosome. However, they are difficult to directly measure over long stretches of DNA in diploid organisms. Consequently, multiple genetic markers are typic
