“…The use of entropies in different fields, especially in the field of information theory and its connection to communication, allowed the development of several useful information measures, such as mutual information, symmetry of information, and information distances. See, for example, References [17][18][19] for some recent work related to the aforementioned information measures.…”

There is no generally accepted definition for conditional Tsallis entropy. The standard definition of (unconditional) Tsallis entropy depends on a parameter α that converges to the Shannon entropy as α approaches 1. In this paper, we describe three proposed definitions of conditional Tsallis entropy suggested in the literature—their properties are studied and their values, as a function of α, are compared. We also consider another natural proposal for conditional Tsallis entropy and compare it with the existing ones. Lastly, we present an online tool to compute the four conditional Tsallis entropies, given the probability distributions and the value of the parameter α.

In the last two decades, new technologies have made DNA genotyping and sequencing far more time and cost efficient. The resulting tremendous increase in the amount of available genomic data allows for a deeper understanding of the relationship between the genotype and the phenotype. In this thesis, I present two novel frameworks which analyze specific aspects of the relationship between the genotype and the phenotype, namely the identification of regulatory SNPs (rSNPs) as well as the detection of epistatic SNP pairs. Additional thanks go to the group of Prof. Wolfgang Link whose collaboration helped to facilitate my Master's thesis and first publication.Finally, I would like to thank my parents. They supported me during my studies and in my daily life and they have made it possible for me to concentrate fully on my studies. I dedicate this thesis to them.Last but not least, I thank my sister Jasmin who, despite her own work and studies, found the time to proofread my publications and this thesis.

GWLD: an R package for genome-wide linkage disequilibrium analysis

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis is fundamental to the investigation on genetic architecture of complex traits (e.g. human disease, animal and plant breeding), and population structure and evolution dynamics. However, until now, studies primarily focus on LD status between genetic variants located on the same chromosome. Moreover, genome (re-)sequencing produces unprecedented numbers of genetic variants, and fast LD computation becomes a challenge. Here, we have developed GWLD, a parallelized and generalized tool designed for the rapid genome-wide calculation of LD values, including conventional D/D’, r2 and (reduced) mutual information (MI and RMI) measures. LD between genetic variants within and across chromosomes can be rapidly computed and visualized in either R package or standalone C++ software. To evaluate the accuracy and speed of LD calculation, we conducted comparisons using four real datasets. Interchromosomal LD patterns observed potentially reflect levels of selection intensity across different species. Both versions of GWLD, the R package (https://github.com/Rong-Zh/GWLD-R) and the standalone C++ software (https://github.com/Rong-Zh/GWLD-C++), are freely available on GitHub.
