Figure 3.
LD in five breeds of dog. LD in 20 unrelated dogs from each of the five breeds scanned for a total of 51 Kb in five unlinked regions on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 34, and 37. The scan revealed 189 SNPs and those with a minor allele frequency greater then 0.2 in each breed were used on LD calculations. Data were averaged across the five sites and the D' statistic used to indicate the level of linkage disequilibrium. D'0.5 indicates the point at which the D' statistic decays by 50%. Data are given in Mb for dog and Kb for human.
