Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) refers to the correlation among neighboring alleles, reflecting non-random patterns of association between alleles at (nearby) loci. A better understanding of LD in the porcine genome is of direct relevance for identification of genes and mutations with a certain effect on the traits of interest. Here, 215 SNPs in seven genomic regions were genotyped in individuals of three breeds....
