Juxtaposed regions of extensive and minimal linkage disequilibrium in human Xq25 and Xq28
Linkage disequilibrium (LD), or the non-random association of alleles, is poorly understood in the human genome1. Population genetic theory suggests that LD is determined by the age of the markers, population his...
