There is great interest in the patterns and extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in humans
and other species. Characterizing LD is of central importance for gene-map** studies and …

Recombination is a central biological process with implications for many areas in the life
sciences. Yet we are only beginning to appreciate variation in the recombination rate along …

Research over the last few years has revealed significant haplotype structure in the human
genome. The characterization of these patterns, particularly in the context of medical genetic …

We introduce a new statistical model for patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) among
multiple SNPs in a population sample. The model overcomes limitations of existing …

Autism is a genetically complex neurodevelopmental syndrome in which language deficits
are a core feature. We describe results from two complimentary approaches used to identify …

Our basic question is: Given a collection of DNA sequences, what underlying forces are
responsible for the observed patterns of variability? To approach this question we introduce …

The length of the human generation interval is a key parameter when using genetics to date
population divergence events. However, no consensus exists regarding the generation …

We present the first results from a novel multiparent advanced generation inter‐cross
(MAGIC) population derived from four elite wheat cultivars. The large size of this MAGIC …

Background As we enter an era when testing millions of SNPs in a single gene association
study will become the standard, consideration of multiple comparisons is an essential part of …

Until recently, rigorously reconstructing the many hybrid speciation events in plants has not
been practical because of the limited number of molecular markers available for plant …
