Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is used to infer evolutionary history, to identify genomic regions under selection, and to dissect the relationship between genotype and phenotype. In each case, we require accurate estimates of LD statistics from sequencing data. Unphased data present a challenge because multilocus haplotypes cannot be inferred exactly. Widely used estimators for the common statistics r2 and D2...
