Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome association studies will be a powerful tool to identify genes responsible for common human diseases. A crucial task for association-mapping studies is the evaluation of the relationship between linkage disequilibrium (LD) and physical distance for the genomic region under study. Since it is known that the extent of LD is nonuniformly distributed throughout the human genome, the required marker...
