Knowledge about the extent and patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) can provide important insights into demographic processes and strategies to identify the genetic basis of complex phenotypes in ...

The great expansion of population genetic data using molecular techniques now allows examination of the extent of linkage disequilibrium for many pairs of loci, each locus often with multiple alleles.

The nonrandom association between different genes, termed linkage disequilibrium (LD), provides a powerful tool for high-resolution mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying complex traits.

Thinking about it today, I realized there is a “Basic Concept” that I think I should touch upon, and that is linkage disequilibrium (LD). Notice the wiki link? I do that whenever I mention LD because ...
