Genome-wide linkage disequilibrium and genetic diversity in five populations of Australian domestic sheep.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the genetic structure and overall diversity of livestock species is important to maximise the potential of genome-wide association studies and genomic prediction. Commonly used measures such as linkage disequilibrium (LD), effective population size (N e ), heterozygosity, fixation index (F ST) and runs of homozygosity (ROH) are widely used and help to improve our knowledge about genetic...
