For their study, Robert Moyzis along with colleagues from the University of California, searched for instances of linkage disequilibrium in a collection of 1.6 million SNPs scattered across all the human chromosomes. Then, they looked carefully at the instances to distinguish the ...

Technique traces origins of disease genes in mixed human populations

... said, to cover the whole genome. To tease out the origins of disease-causing genes, researchers use a technique called mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium (MALD), a powerful approach to identify regions of the genome that have genes associated with disease. It takes advantage of differences in disease ...
