Association mapping for kernel phytosterol content in almond
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Almond kernels are a rich source of phytosterols, which are important compounds for human nutrition. The genetic control of phytosterol content has not yet been documented in almond.

Detection of QTL for Carcass Quality on Chromosome 6 by Exploiting Linkage and Linkage Disequilibrium in Hanwoo [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012 The purpose of this study was to improve mapping power and resolution for the QTL influencing carcass quality in Hanwoo, which was previously detected on the bovine chromosome (BTA) 6.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Linkage disequilibrium (LD) across the genome provides information to identify the genes and variations related to quantitative traits in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and for the implementation of genomic selection (GS).

Testing Linkage Disequilibrium in Sibships [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2000 We describe the use of multivariate regression for testing allelic association in the presence of linkage, using marker genotype data from sibships. The test is valid, provided that the correct mean structure is modeled but does not require the correlation structure within families to be specified. The test can be implemented using standard statistical

Genotype determination for polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium
BMC Bioinformatics, 2009 Background Genome-wide association studies with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) show great promise to identify genetic determinants of complex human traits.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 The aquatic planorbid snail Biomphalaria glabrata is one of the most intensively-studied mollusks due to its role in the transmission of schistosomiasis. Its 916 Mb genome has recently been sequenced and annotated, but it remains poorly assembled.

Genome-wide analysis of zygotic linkage disequilibrium and its components in crossbred cattle
BMC Genetics, 2012 Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at linked or independent loci can occur at gametic and zygotic levels known asgametic LD and zygotic LD, respectively. Gametic LD is well known for its roles in fine-scale mapping of quantitative trait

Identification of Genetic Loci Associated with Quality Traits in Almond via Association Mapping. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 To design an appropriate association study, we need to understand population structure and the structure of linkage disequilibrium within and among populations as well as in different regions of the genome in an organism.

Structure of Linkage Disequilibrium in Plants [PDF]
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2003 Future advances in plant genomics will make it possible to scan a genome for polymorphisms associated with qualitative and quantitative traits. Before this potential can be realized, we must understand the nature of linkage disequilibrium (LD) within a genome.

Inferring linkage disequilibrium from non-random samples†
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) plays a fundamental role in population genetics and in the current surge of studies to screen for subtle genetic variants affecting complex traits.
