An assessment of linkage disequilibrium in Holstein cattle using a Bayesian network.

Abstract excerpt

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is defined as a non-random association of the distributions of alleles at different loci within a population. This association between loci is valuable in prediction of quantitative traits in animals and plants and in genome-wide association studies. A question that arises is whether standard metrics such as D' and r(2) reflect complex associations in a genetic system properly. It...
