SNP frequency, haplotype structure and linkage disequilibrium in elite maize inbred lines

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Recent studies of ancestral maize populations indicate that linkage disequilibrium tends to dissipate rapidly, sometimes within 100 bp. We set out to examine the linkage disequilibrium and diversity in maize elite inbred lines, which...
