Approximately independent linkage disequilibrium blocks in human populations
UNLABELLED: We present a method to identify approximately independent blocks of linkage disequilibrium in the human genome. These blocks enable automated analysis of multiple genome-wide association studies. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: code: http://bitbucket.org/nygcresearch/ldetect; data: http://bitbucket.org/nygcresearch/ldetect-data.
