The effects of reference panel perturbations on the accuracy of genotype imputation

Jeremiah H. Li, Andy Liu, C. Alex Buerkle, William J. Palmer, Gillian M. Belbin, Mohammad Mehdi Ahangari, Matthew J. S. Gibson, Lex Flagel

This study evaluates how perturbations in haplotype reference panels affect genotype imputation accuracy, finding that phase and genotype errors have a greater impact than variant density.
