Extent of linkage disequilibrium and effective population size in four South African Sanga cattle breeds

Extent of linkage disequilibrium and effective population size in four South African Sanga cattle breeds

Knowledge on the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in livestock populations is essential to determine the minimum distance between markers required for effective coverage when conducting genome-wide association studies. This study evaluated the extent of LD, persistence of allelic phase and effe...
