Abstract excerpt
The covariance of heterozygosity serves as a measure of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at two loci, although one that does not have as much information as a parameter such as r2. However, it may be extended to blocks of loci (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) along a chromosome. This has two advantages when searching for significant associations between different chromosomal regions. Calculations...
