Digenic genotypes: The interface of inbreeding, linkage, and linkage disequilibrium.

Abstract excerpt

Many traits in populations are well understood as being Mendelian effects at single loci or additive polygenic effects across numerous loci. However, there are important phenomena and traits that are intermediate between these two extremes and are known as oligogenic traits. Here we investigate digenic, or two-locus, traits and how their frequencies in populations are affected by non-random mating, specifically...
