2. Association mapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_Mapping

   In genetics, association mapping, also known as "linkage disequilibrium mapping", is a method of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that takes advantage of historic linkage disequilibrium to link phenotypes (observable characteristics) to genotypes (the genetic constitution of organisms), uncovering genetic associations.

3. Linkage disequilibrium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_disequilibrium

   Once linkage disequilibrium has been calculated for a dataset, a visualization method is often chosen to display the linkage disequilibrium to make it more easily understandable. The most common method is to use a heatmap, where colors are used to indicate the loci with positive linkage disequilibrium, and linkage equilibrium. This example ...

4. Linkage disequilibrium score regression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_disequilibrium...

   In statistical genetics, linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSR [1] or LDSC [2]) is a technique that aims to quantify the separate contributions of polygenic effects and various confounding factors, such as population stratification, based on summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWASs).

5. Genome-wide association study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study

   Hence, GWAS is a non-candidate-driven approach, in contrast to gene-specific candidate-driven studies. GWA studies identify SNPs and other variants in DNA associated with a disease, but they cannot on their own specify which genes are causal. [1] [2] [3] The first successful GWAS published in 2002 studied myocardial infarction. [4]

6. Transcriptome-wide association study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptome-wide...

   A genome-wide association study, or GWAS, is a genetic tool that uses single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, to identify if a trait or disease is linked to a specific genetic variant. By observing if frequencies of a specific variant are more commonly associated, or higher than expected, with the given trait; an association is developed ...

7. Genetic association - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_association

   Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a term used in the study of population genetics for the non-random association of alleles at two or more loci, not necessarily on the same chromosome. It is not the same as linkage, which is the phenomenon whereby two or more loci on a chromosome have reduced recombination between them because of their physical ...

8. PLINK (genetic tool-set) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLINK_(genetic_tool-set)

   Linkage disequilibrium (LD) calculation; Identity by descent (IBD) and identity by state (IBS) matrix calculation; population stratification, such as a Principal component analysis; association analysis such as genome-wide association study for both basic case/control studies and quantitative traits; tests for epistasis

9. Arlequin (software) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlequin_(software)

   Arlequin is a free population genetics software distributed as an integrated GUI data analysis software. [1] It performs several types of tests and calculations, including Fixation index (F st, also known as the "F-statistics" [2]), computing genetic distance, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, linkage disequilibrium, analysis of molecular variance, mismatch distribution, and pairwise difference tests.
