Linkage disequilibrium on the bovine X chromosome: characterization and use in quantitative trait locus mapping
We herein demonstrate that in the Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle population, microsatellites are as polymorphic on the X chromosome as on the autosomes but that the level of linkage disequilibrium between these markers is higher on the X chromosome than on the autosomes. The latter observation is no...
