Extent and consistency across generations of linkage disequilibrium in commercial layer chicken breeding populations.
Recent studies report a surprisingly high degree of marker-to-marker linkage disequilibrium (LD) in ruminant livestock populations. This has important implications for QTL mapping and marker-assisted selection. This study evaluated LD between microsatellite markers in a number of breeding populations of layer chickens using the standardized chi-square (chi(2')) measure. The results show appreci...
متن کاملEfficient algorithms for genome-wide tagSNP selection across populations via the linkage disequilibrium criterion.
In this paper, we study the tagSNP selection problem on multiple populations using the pairwise r(2) linkage disequilibrium criterion. We propose a novel combinatorial optimization model for the tagSNP selection problem, called the minimum common tagSNP selection (MCTS) problem, and present efficient solutions for MCTS. Our approach consists of three main steps including (i) partitioning the SN...
متن کاملEfficient Genome-Wide TagSNP Selection Across Populations via the Linkage Disequilibrium Criterion
In this article, we studied the tag single-nucleotide polymorphism (tagSNP) selection problem on multiple populations using the pairwise r(2) linkage disequilibrium criterion. We proposed a novel combinatorial optimization model for the tagSNP selection problem, called the minimum common tagSNP selection (MCTS) problem, and presented efficient solutions for MCTS. Our approach consists of the fo...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium in subdivided populations.
The linkage disequilibrium in a subdivided populaton is shown to be equal to the sum of the average linkage disequilibrium for all subpopulations and the covariance between gene frequencies of the loci concerned. Thus, in a subdivided population the linkage disequilibrium may not be 0 even if the linkage disequilibrium in each subpopulation is 0. If a population is divided into two subpopulatio...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium in human populations.
Whereas the human linkage map appears on limited evidence to be constant over populations, maps of linkage disequilibrium (LD) vary among populations that differ in gene history. The greatest difference is between populations of sub-Saharan origin and populations remotely derived from Africa after a major bottleneck that reduced their heterozygosity and altered their Malecot parameters, increas...
