Estimation of Recombination Rate and Maternal Linkage Disequilibrium in Half-Sibs

A livestock population can be characterized by different population genetic parameters, such as linkage disequilibrium and recombination rate between pairs of genetic markers. The population structure, which may be caused by family stratification, has an influence on the estimates of these parameter...
