Gene mapping is often carried out using a sample of individuals affected by the disease of interest and a sample of healthy controls. From a data mining perspective, gene mapping can then be cast as a pattern discovery and analysis task: which genetically motivated marker patterns help to separate affected individuals from healthy ones?The marker data constitutes… Show more
