The pattern of linkage disequilibrium in German Holstein cattle.
Anim. Genet. 41, 346-356 (2010)
Summary This study presents a second generation of linkage disequilibrium (LD) map statistics for the whole genome of the Holstein-Friesian population, which has a four times higher resolution compared with that of the maps available so far. We used DNA samples of 810 German Holstein-Friesian cattle genotyped by the Illumina Bovine SNP50K BeadChip to analyse LD structure. A panel of 40 854 (75.6%) markers was included in the final analysis. The pairwise r(2) statistic of SNPs up to 5 Mb apart across the genome was estimated. A mean value of r(2) = 0.30 +/- 0.32 was observed in pairwise distances of <25 kb and it dropped to 0.20 +/- 0.24 at 50-75 kb, which is nearly the average inter-marker space in this study. The proportion of SNPs in useful LD (r(2) >/= 0.25) was 26% for the distance of 50 and 75 kb between SNPs. We found a lower level of LD for SNP pairs at the distance
