The occurrence in members of a population of combinations of linked genes in non-random proportions.
Example sentencesExamples
- This expression is general and independent from models that introduce linkage disequilibrium into a population.
- In Fig 1C, it is shown that gene conversion generates positive linkage disequilibrium.
- It is known that epistatic selection may produce significant linkage disequilibrium in natural populations.
- Upon population admixture, long-distance linkage disequilibrium is expected, which decays as time goes on.
- Last, we discuss how to estimate and interpret estimates of genetic effects in a population with loci in linkage disequilibrium.
