Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) plays a central role in fine mapping of disease genes and, more recently, in characterizing haplotype blocks. Classical LD measures, such as D' and r(2), are frequently used to quantify relationship between two loci. A pairwise "distance" matrix among a set of loci can be constructed using such a measure, and based upon which a number of haplotype block detection and tagging single...
