Estimation of linkage disequilibrium and effective population size in New Zealand sheep using three different methods to create genetic maps

Abstract Background Investments in genetic selection have played a major role in the New Zealand sheep industry competitiveness. Selection may erode genetic diversity, which is a crucial factor for the success of breeding programs. Better understanding of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and ancestral ef...
