Haplotyping infers the most likely phase of observed genotypes conditional on constraints imposed by the genotypes of other pedigree members. The results of haplotype reconstruction, when visualized appropriately, show which alleles are identical by descent despite the presence of untyped individuals. When used in concert with linkage analysis, haplotyping can help delineate a locus of interest and provide a succinct explanation for the transmission of the trait locus. Unfortunately, the design choices made by existing haplotype visualization programs do not scale to large numbers of markers. Indeed, following haplotypes from generation to generation requires excessive scrolling back and forth. In addition, the most widely used program for haplotype visualization produces inconsistent recombination artefacts for the X chromosome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To resolve these issues, we developed HaploForge, a novel web application for haplotype visualization and pedigree drawing. HaploForge takes advantage of HTML5 to be fast, portable and avoid the need for local installation. It can accurately visualize autosomal and X-linked haplotypes from both outbred and consanguineous pedigrees. Haplotypes are coloured based on identity by descent using a novel A* search algorithm and we provide a flexible viewing mode to aid visual inspection. HaploForge can currently process haplotype reconstruction output from Allegro, GeneHunter, Merlin and Simwalk.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>HaploForge is licensed under GPLv3 and is hosted and maintained via GitHub. https:\/\/github.com\/mtekman\/haploforge<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btx510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,10]],"date-time":"2017-08-10T19:14:46Z","timestamp":1502392486000},"page":"3871-3877","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["HaploForge: a comprehensive pedigree drawing and haplotype visualization web application"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Mehmet","family":"Tekman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medicine, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"Medlar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Mozere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medicine, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0228-8656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Kleta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medicine, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Horia","family":"Stanescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medicine, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020207020366000_btx510-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1038\/ng786","article-title":"Merlin-rapid analysis of dense genetic maps using sparse gene flow trees","volume":"30","author":"Abecasis","year":"2002","journal-title":"Nat.
