Genome-wide analysis of zygotic linkage disequilibrium and its components in crossbred cattle
Download2012
Jiang, Q., Wang, Z., Yang, R. C., Moore, S. S.
Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at linked or independent loci can occur at gametic and zygotic levels known asgametic LD and zygotic LD, respectively. Gametic LD is well known for its roles in fine-scale mapping of quantitative trait loci, genomic selection and evolutionary...

Kolbehdari, D., Stothard, P., Schnabel, R., Wang, Z., Marques, E., Taylor, J. F., Moore, S. S.
Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps can provide a wealth of information on specific marker-phenotype relationships, especially in areas of the genome where positional candidate genes with similar functions are located. A recently published high resolution radiation hybrid map of bovine...

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 (QTL). However, knowledge of LD in beef cattle, as well as the persistence of LD phase between crossbreds (C) and purebreds,...

Schnabel, R. D., Wang, Z., Mannenl, H., Gill, C. A., Van Tassell, C. P., Gao, C., Aerts, J., Williams, J. L., Neto, E. D., Moore, S. S., Matukumalli, L. K., Coppieters, W., McKay, S. D., Taylor, J. F., Crews, D., Murdoch, B. M.
Background Bovine whole genome linkage disequilibrium maps were constructed for eight breeds of cattle. These data provide fundamental information concerning bovine genome organization which will allow the design of studies to associate genetic variation with economically important traits and...
