Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is the non-random association of alleles at different loci. Squared LD coefficients r2 (for phased genotypes) and [Formula: see text] (for unphased genotypes) will converge to constants that are determined by the sample size, the recombination frequency, the effective population size and the mating system. LD can therefore be used for gene mapping and the estimation of effective...
