Properties of linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps.
A linkage disequilibrium map is expressed in linkage disequilibrium (LD) units (LDU) discriminating blocks of conserved LD that have additive distances and locations monotonic with physical (kb) and genetic (cM) maps. There is remarkable agreement between LDU steps and sites of meiotic recombination in the one body of data informative for crossing over, and good agreement with another method th...
متن کاملConditional asymmetric linkage disequilibrium (ALD): extending the biallelic r2 measure.
For multiallelic loci, standard measures of linkage disequilibrium provide an incomplete description of the correlation of variation at two loci, especially when there are different numbers of alleles at the two loci. We have developed a complementary pair of conditional asymmetric linkage disequilibrium (ALD) measures. Since these measures do not assume symmetry, they more accurately describe ...
متن کاملAUTOGSCAN: powerful tools for automated genome-wide linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis.
Genome-wide linkage analysis using multiple traits and statistical software packages is a tedious process which requires a significant amount of manual file manipulation. Different linkage analysis programs require different input file formats, making the task of analyzing data with multiple methods even more time-consuming. We have developed a software tool, AUTOGSCAN, that automates file form...
متن کاملThe first linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps: delineation of hot and cold blocks by diplotype analysis.
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) provides information about positional cloning, linkage, and evolution that cannot be inferred from other evidence, even when a correct sequence and a linkage map based on more than a handful of families become available. We present theory to construct an LD map for which distances are additive and population-specific maps are expected to be approximately proportional...
متن کاملVisualizing SNP statistics in the context of linkage disequilibrium using LD-Plus
SUMMARY Often in human genetic analysis, multiple tables of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) statistics are shown alongside a Haploview style correlation plot. Readers are then asked to make inferences that incorporate knowledge across these multiple sets of results. To better facilitate a collective understanding of all available data, we developed a Ruby-based web application, LD-Plus, to...
