High-resolution population-specific recombination rates and their effect on phasing and genotype imputation

Shabbeer Hassan, Ida L. Surakka, Marja‐Riitta Taskinen, Veikko V Salomaa, Aarno V. Palotie, Maija Wessman, Taru Tukiainen, Matti Pirinen, Priit Palta, Samuli Ripatti

The paper maps high-resolution recombination rates in Finns and compares their impact on phasing and imputation to non-Finnish Europeans, finding minimal effect on accuracy.
