Assortative Mating and Linkage Disequilibrium.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 5 Jan 2017

Hedrick Philip W

Abstract excerpt

Assortative mating has been suggested to result in an increase in heritability and additive genetic variance through an increase in linkage disequilibrium. The impact of assortative mating on linkage disequilibrium was explicitly examined for the two-locus model of Wright (1921) and two selective assortative mating models. For the Wright (1921) model, when the proportion of assortative mating was high, positive...
