Abstract excerpt
The extent of nonrandom association of alleles at two or more loci, termed linkage disequilibrium (LD), can reveal much about population demography, selection, and recombination rate, and is a key consideration when designing association mapping studies. Here, we describe a genome-wide analysis of LD in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) using 838 single nucleotide polymorphisms and present LD maps for all...
