Abstract excerpt
The initial belief that haplotype block boundaries and haplotypes were largely shared across populations was a foundation for constructing a haplotype map of the human genome using common SNP markers. The HapMap data document the generality of a block-like pattern of linkage disequilibrium (LD) with regions of low and high haplotype diversity but differences among the populations. Studies of many additional...
