Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) is of critical importance for genomic selection and marker assisted selection. The primary purpose of this study is to examine patterns of LD in three Danish pig breeds (Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire); we also examine patterns of persistence of phase between the breeds. We quantify local LD by fitting a model relating LD to physical distance between markers in...
