Abstract:

Obtaining the association between complex diseases and single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) is one of the most important tasks of bioinformatics.However,the huge spending
limits its development and applications,selecting a set of tag SNPs therefore becomes an
important step to reduce the cost for association study.Recently,some algorithms have been
proposed for solving this problem,but most of them cannot meet the requirements of
practical applications in terms of accuracy level and number of tags.We introduce a new
method which uses an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to predict the nontag
SNPs,and employ an novel forwardmatrix method to select tag SNPs.To measure the quality
of the correction rate and the number of tag SNPs,we utilize several databases to test our
method,and we also compare it with other methods.The results show that the proposed method
can effectively enhance the tag SNPs prediction in terms of accuracy and a smaller subset
of tag SNPs.

Key words: single nucleotide polymorphism, tag, particle swarm optimization
