Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analyses play a fundamental role in gene mapping, both as a tool for fine mapping of complex trait gene and in genome-wide association studies. The use of LD analyses in practice depends crucially on the understanding of the patterns of LD in the genome. In the present study, a total of 36 SNP were selected initially in a region (200 kb) of Contig.060226.1 on GGA1 based on the average...
