## Abstract Knowledge of the extent and distribution of linkage disequilibrium (LD) is critical to the design and interpretation of gene mapping studies. Because the demographic history of each population varies and is often not accurately known, it is necessary to empirically evaluate LD on a popu

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers is more likely to exist in dense genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels than in microsatellite panels. As part of Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 (GAW14), the extent of LD in the Illumina linkage panel III and the Affymetrix Genechip 10 K map
## Abstract Estimates of relatedness have several applications such as the identification of relatives or in identifying disease related genes through identity by descent (IBD) mapping. Here we present a new method for identifying IBD tracts among individuals from genomeβwide single nucleotide poly
