DERIVING HAPLOTYPES THROUGH RECOMBINATION AND GENE CONVERSION PATHWAYS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Retracing the trajectories of past genetic events is crucial to understand the structure of the genome, both in individuals and across populations. A haplotype describes a string of polymorphic sites along a DNA segment. Haplotype diversity is due to mutations creating new variants, and to recombinations and gene conversions that mix and redistribute these variants among individual chromosomes in populations. A number of studies have revealed a relatively simple pattern of haplotype diversity in the human genome, dominated by a few common haplotypes representing founder ancestral ones. New haplotypes are usually rare and have a limited geographic distribution. We propose a method to derive a new haplotype from a set of putative ancestral haplotypes, once mutations in place, through minimal recombination and gene conversion pathways. We describe classes of pathways that represent the whole set of minimal pathways leading to a new haplotype. We show that obtaining this set of pathways can be represented as a problem of finding "secondary structures" of minimum energy. We present a polynomial algorithm solving this folding problem.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
