Abstract excerpt
The distribution of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the human genome has important consequences for the design of experiments that infer susceptibility genes for complex disease using association studies. Recent studies have shown a non-random distribution of human meiotic recombination associated with intervening tracts of LD. Little is known about the processes, patterns and frequency of reciprocal meiotic...
