Divergence between human populations estimated from linkage disequilibrium.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Dec 2008

Sved John A, McRae Allan F, Visscher Peter M

Abstract excerpt

Observed linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genetic markers in different populations descended independently from a common ancestral population can be used to estimate their absolute time of divergence, because the correlation of LD between populations will be reduced each generation by an amoun...
