Linkage disequilibrium in Angus, Charolais and crossbred beef cattle

Linkage disequilibrium in Angus, Charolais and crossbred beef cattle

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) and the persistence of its phase across populations are important for genomic selection as well as fine scale mapping of quantitative trait loci. However knowledge of LD in beef cattle, as well as the persistence of LD phase between crossbreds and purebreds, is limited. T...
