Constructing a Genome-Wide LD Map of Wild A. gambiae Using Next-Generation Sequencing

Figure 3

LD decays rapidly as the distance of SNPs increases. (a) displays the relationship between correlation coefficient and SNP distance from 0 to 10 kb. (b) shows the relationship between correlation coefficient and SNP distance from 0 to 100 bp, which clearly shows that average genome-wide LD size is less than 40 bp.
