As in Ohta (1982), our aim is the decomposition of the r 2 measure of linkage disequilibrium into a first part due to the sample structure and a second part clear of the structure effect. We prove ...

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is the nonrandom association of alleles of different loci. There is no single best statistic that quantifies the extent of LD. Several statistics have been proposed that ...

A novel iLDS statistic uncovers adaptive gene sweeps in gut bacteria, highlighting evolutionary responses to modern diets and enhancing microbiome studies.

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 ...
