Given the SNP genotyping information about the following individual:

Individual 1: Aa Bb CC Dd
Individual 2: aa bb CC DD
Individual 3: Aa Bb CC DD
Individual 4: aa Bb CC dd
Individual 5: aa Bb CC Dd

Use the Clark's algorithm to resolve the haplotypes for each individual. E.g. Individual 1 = (text field aBCd) + (text field AbCD)

Solution Summary

This solution shows step by step how to determine the haplotypes for each individual. This solution is provided in a clear and concise manner.

Solution Preview

Clark's algorithm begins by finding all homozygotes and single-site heterozygotes
and resolving the resulting known haplotypes.

Homozygotes

Individual 2: (abCD) + (abCD)

Single-site Heterozygotes

Individual 4: (aBCd) + (abCd)

Then, for each known haplotype, look at all the remaining unresolved sequences
and ask whether the known haplotype can be made from some combination of ...
