HapMap Project

Definition

The International HapMap Project cataloged common human genetic variation and linkage disequilibrium patterns across populations, providing an early reference for tag SNP selection and imputation.

Why it matters in GWAS

HapMap laid core groundwork for array design and early GWAS methodology, and many concepts in modern imputation and LD-based analyses trace back to this resource.

Example usage

"A replication analysis checks whether HapMap Project assumptions hold across cohorts."

Related-term network

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
