Title: Linkage disequilibrium in two divergent genetic groups of dairy cows using a high-density map of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
Abstract: A 50K bovine DNA array allows large scale genotyping of dairy cattle for around 50 thousand markers (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms -SNP). This development opens the door to genomic prediction and selection, and also facilitates gene detection, mapping and association studies. Any such application requires knowledge of the Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) state of the markers. The objective of this work was to examine the LD in two divergent genetic lines of dairy cows genotyped with the 50K bovine DNA array.
