IMPUTE2

IMPUTE2

IMPUTE2 is a tool for genotype imputation and haplotype phasing. The IMPUTE2 algorithm uses 'pre-phasing' wherein it makes initial statistical estimates of the haplotypes. In the next step, it imputes missing genotypes given the estimated haplotypes. This approach yields reduced computing time.
