Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both genome-wide association (GWA) studies and genomic selection depend on the level of non-random association of alleles at different loci, i.e. linkage disequilibrium (LD), across the genome. Therefore, characterizing LD is of fundamental importance to implement both approaches. In this study, using a 60K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel, we estimated LD and haplotype structure in...
