Abstract excerpt

Linkage disequilibrium (LD), the association of alleles at different loci, is a powerful tool for genetic mapping and for investigating, at the population level, processes such as recombination, selection, mutation and admixture. Little is known about the distribution of LD across mammalian genom...
