Grouping of genomic markers in populations with family structure

Abstract Background Linkage and linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genome regions cause dependencies among genomic markers. Due to family stratification in populations with non-random mating in livestock or crop, the standard measures of population LD such as $$r^2$$ r 2 may be biased. Grouping of...
