Abstract

We partially order a collection of genotypes so that we can represent the NP-Hard problem of inferring the least number of haplotypes in terms of substructures we call g-lattices. This representation allows us to prove that the problem can be solved efficiently if the genotypes partition into chains with certain structure. Even without the specified structure, the decomposition shows how to separate the underlying integer programming model into smaller models.
