Abstract excerpt
The International Haplotype Map ("HapMap") Project is motivated, in part, by the belief that the organization of the human genome, the mechanics of recombination, and the population-level behavior of alleles at adjacent loci should allow researchers to parse the genome into small segments, or "blocks," that show strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) between alleles at loci within those segments. The discovery and...
