Figure 1.
Pairwise disequilibrium coefficients (r2) for one window in the genome. Tan circles denote the observed values. Green line denotes the average of observed values. Red line denotes the curve resulting from the fitted model, which models the decay of linkage disequilibrium as a function of the per base-pair population recombination rate, 4Nρ, and the distance between markers dij (see Methods). The example refers to marker pairs in the window from 2–3 Mb on chromosome 3.
