AMAP
An novel approach (aMAP, ancestry of Modern Admixed Populations) for inferring local phased ancestry
Ma Y, Zhao J, Wong JS, Ma L, Li W, Fu G, Xu W, Zhang K, Kittles RA, Li Y, Song Q. Accurate inference of local phased ancestry of modern admixed populations. Scientific Reports. 2014 Jul 23;4:5800. PMID:25052506
LASER
Determines the haplotypes of each person from unphased high-throughput genotypes in family pedigrees. This method features high accuracy, chromosome-range phasing distance, linear computing, flexible pedigree types and flexible genetic marker types.
