The scale of genetic-variation datasets has increased enormously and the linkage equilibrium (LD) structure of these polymorphisms, particularly in whole-genome association studies, is of great interest. The significant computational complexity of calculating single- and multiple-marker correlations at a genome-wide scale remains challenging. We have developed a program that efficiently characterizes whole-genome LD structure on large number of SNPs in terms of single- and multiple-marker correlations.

遗传变异数据集的规模已大幅增加,这些多态性的连锁不平衡(LD)结构,特别是在全基因组关联研究中,备受关注。在全基因组规模上计算单标记和多标记相关性的显著计算复杂性仍然具有挑战性。我们开发了一个程序,该程序可根据单标记和多标记相关性有效地表征大量单核苷酸多态性(SNP)的全基因组LD结构。
