Abstract excerpt
Linkage equilibrium is an independence condition among the alleles at a set of gene loci. Equilibrium or disequilibrium only makes sense relative to some reference population of a species. If the loci all occur on the same chromosome, then linkage equilibrium holds provided a random representative of that chromosome from the reference population displays independent alleles at the various loci of the set....
