We have done genotyping from targeted DNA sequencing of 600 related human samples. The targeted regions are mainly the exons of several hundred imprinted genes and the total size of the panel is 4Mb. About 200 samples were in trios and we were able to phase their variants. We are wondering if we could use these genotyping and phasing data to impute the SNPs beyond the targeted regions, e.g. several Kb or Mb upstream/downstream of the genes we targeted in the panel. All the sequenced samples came from a small local population so it's expected that they share many common haplotypes. Will this help imputation? If it's feasible, which pipeline/tools should be used? Thanks.

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
