Recently the tagSNP selection problem has been researched for reducing the cost of association studies between human's diversities and SNPs. General approach for this problem is that all of SNPs are separated into appropriate blocks and then tagSNPs are chosen in each block. Marsel in this paper is the system that involved the concept of linkage disequilibrium for overcoming the problem that the existing block partitioning approaches have short of biological meanings. In most approaches, the contiguous regions, which recombinations have LD coefficient |D'| and then tagSNP selection step is performed. And MarSel guarantees the minimum tagSNP selection using entropy-based optimal selection algorithm when tagSNPs are chosen in each block, and enables chromosome-level association studies using efficient memory management technique when input is very large-scale dataset that is impossible to be processed in the existing systems.

In the disease association study, the tagSNP selection problem is important at the view of time and cost. We developed the new tagSNP selection system that has also facilities for the haplotype reconstruction and missing data processing. In our system, we improved biological meanings using LD coefficients as well as dynamic programming method. And our system has capability of processing large -scale dataset, such as the total SNPs on a chromosome. We have tested our system with various dataset from daly et al., patil et al., HapMap Project, artificial dataset, and so on.

인간(human)에게 나타나는 다양성(variation)은 인체의 유전체(genome) 안에서 발생된 SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)에 의해 나타난다고 알려져 있다. 유전체내의 SNP과 다양성에 대한 연관 연구(Associate study)를 할 때에 약 30여 억 개로 추정되는 염기서열(DNA sequence)물 모두 분석한다면 많은 비용과 시간을 필요로 할 것이다. 이런 비용과 시간을 줄이기 위친 적은 수의 대표 SNP(=tagSNP)을 찾는 연구가 현재 진행 중이다. 우리는 LD계수｜D;｜을 block 분할에 이용하여 생물학적인 의미를 부여한 후, 전산적인 최적해를 찾는 접근을 이용했다. 또한, 기존 연구에서는 large-scale data에 대한 처리가 불가능해서 chromosome의 일부분의 데이터에 대해서안 분석이 시도되었다. 더욱 광범위한 분석을 위해서 chromosome 단위의 처리가 필요하다. 우리는 chromosome단위의 SNP data를 한 번에 처리가 가능한 시스템인 MarSel를 구현하였다
