Linked from

The 24 pages that link to Linkage disequilibrium, each with the reason it gives.

• Population geneticsRelated: It reveals how recombination, selection, and demographic history shape linked variation.

• Genome-wide association studyRelated: A significant marker can signal a nearby causal variant because inherited alleles travel together.

• Founder effectRelated: Founder events can create long-lived allele associations that help estimate population history.

• IntrogressionRelated: Associations between donor alleles and nearby variants can persist after introgression.

• Effective population sizeRelated: The decay of linkage disequilibrium can provide an estimate of effective size.

• Single-nucleotide polymorphismRelated: Correlated SNPs can mark a causal variant they are inherited alongside.

• Genotype–phenotype correlationRelated: A correlated marker may track a causal variant without itself producing the phenotype.

• Homologous chromosomesRelated: Crossing over between homologues can break down associations between nearby alleles.

• HaplotypeRelated: Nearby variants in a haplotype often show linkage disequilibrium because they are inherited together.

• Dog breedRelated: Selection can leave breed-specific combinations of genetic markers and traits.

• Genetic ancestryRelated: Its patterns help identify shared ancestry and estimate when populations diverged.

• Neanderthal admixtureRelated: Correlated Neanderthal variants help identify inherited DNA segments and estimate when they entered human ancestors.

• Assortative matingRelated: Trait-based mate choice can generate associations among alleles influencing those traits.

• Marker-assisted selectionRelated: Marker alleles predict trait alleles when they remain associated in the breeding population.

• Denisovan admixtureRelated: Shared linked variants help identify ancestry segments inherited from archaic populations.

• Genetic epidemiologyRelated: Correlated alleles let studies locate disease-associated variants near causal ones.

• Muller’s ratchetRelated: Without recombination, linked mutations remain bundled into the same genomes.

• Archaic human admixtureRelated: Recombination breaks up archaic DNA blocks over generations, shaping their linkage patterns.

• Genomic selectionRelated: Marker associations let measured variants capture effects of nearby causal variants.

• Genetic admixtureRelated: Recent admixture creates ancestry correlations across loci that recombination gradually breaks down.

• HomozygousRelated: Homozygous regions can help reveal inherited haplotypes and their population associations.

• Human evolutionary geneticsRelated: Its decay across generations helps estimate when populations mixed or selection acted.
