Figure 1From: Modeling linkage disequilibrium in exact linkage computations: a comparison of first-order Markov approaches and the clustered-markers approachAssessment of LD between markers. r2 was estimated for adjacent markers, every second marker, every third marker, and every tenth marker (denoted by respectively, Δ = 1, Δ = 2, Δ = 3, and Δ = 10). The left panel shows histogram of r2 over marker pairs for different Δ, the middle panel shows mean value of r2 as a function of Δ, and the right panel shows scatter plot of r2 as modeled by the FOMM vs. r2 as estimated from the data for Δ = 2.Back to article page
