Linkage Disequilibrium Statistics and Block Visualization
Linkage disequilibrium analysis enables researchers to interrogate the genome for patterns of coinheritance between genetic markers. Visualizing... -
CoPheScan: phenome-wide association studies accounting for linkage disequilibrium
Phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) facilitate the discovery of associations between a single genetic variant with multiple phenotypes. For...

Linkage Disequilibrium
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is the nonrandom association between alleles at closely linked loci. LD is created by genetic drift and natural... -
Genomic prediction based on selective linkage disequilibrium pruning of low-coverage whole-genome sequence variants in a pure Duroc population
BackgroundAlthough the accumulation of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data has accelerated the identification of mutations underlying complex traits,...

Extremely sparse models of linkage disequilibrium in ancestrally diverse association studies
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is the correlation among nearby genetic variants. In genetic association studies, LD is often modeled using large...

Long-range linkage disequilibrium in French beef cattle breeds
BackgroundLinkage disequilibrium (LD) is a key parameter to study the history of populations and to identify and fine map quantitative trait loci...
