Reductions in genotyping costs have heightened interest in performing whole genome association scans and in the fine mapping of candidate regions. Improvements in study design and analytic techniques will require the simulation of datasets with realistic patterns of linkage disequilibrium and allele frequencies for typed SNPs.
