Abstract

Haplotype inference by pure parsimony (Hipp) is a well-known paradigm for haplotype inference. In order to assess the biological significance of this paradigm, we generalize the problem of Hipp to the problem of finding all optimal solutions, which we call Chipp. We study intrinsic haplotype features, such as  backbone haplotypes  and  fat genotypes  as well as  equal columns  and
