Development of a management information system for the statistical analysis of genetic loci that show linkage disequilibrium

Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to develop bioinformatic methods to examine and analyze MHC population data. In particular, to design and develop an informatics system to manage genetic data in linkage disequilibrium. The system that has been developed is called DHLAS (Database HLA Analysis System) and combines data management facilities – which are supported by a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) – as well as advanced statistical procedures. Although there are numerous statistical software packages that use diverse algorithms to analyze genetic, the researcher usually produces an intermediate data file which is supplied to a statistical application data. None of these tools integrates a RDBMS targeting genetic population studies together with the appropriate statistical methods to analyze these data. Furthermore, a methodology to classify subjects has been enhanced and applied to MHC population data. This methodology is based on a non-parametric decision tree approach know ...
