Linkage disequilibrium — understanding the evolutionary past and mapping the medical future | Nature Reviews Genetics
Linkage disequilibrium was once a concept used little outside population genetics. However, in the genomics era it has become fundamental to our understanding of the genetic variation that is behind complex traits and evolutionary change.
