Approximately independent linkage disequilibrium blocks in human populations
UNLABELLED We present a method to identify approximately independent blocks of linkage disequilibrium in the human genome. These blocks enable automated analysis of multiple genome-wide association studies. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION code: http://bitbucket.org/nygcresearch/ldetect; data: http://bitbucket.org/nygcresearch/ldetect-data. CONTACT [email protected] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORM...
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...
متن کاملMitonuclear linkage disequilibrium in human populations.
There is extensive evidence from model systems that disrupting associations between co-adapted mitochondrial and nuclear genotypes can lead to deleterious and even lethal consequences. While it is tempting to extrapolate from these observations and make inferences about the human-health effects of altering mitonuclear associations, the importance of such associations may vary greatly among spec...

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...
