This in turn led to the idea of genetic linkage, which means that when two genes are closely associated on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently (Morgan, 1911). So if linkage ...

LDcor and its standardized form, nLDcor, which analyze the global linkage disequilibrium of deleterious mutations across ...

Indeed, linkage is critical for mapping and identifying genes when we are trying to discover which gene is responsible for a specific phenotype. In a genetic screen, mapping allows scientists to ...

In general, I and other geneticists use two approaches to map the genetic blueprint of Parkinson’s: linkage analysis and association studies. Linkage analysis focuses on rare families where ...
