(a)- Average linkage disequilibrium rate. The x-axis shows the distance (kilo base pairs) between SNPs, and the y-axis, the LD value (r²). Panel (b) represents an amplified region from the averaged linkage disequilibrium (a) of ~ 1500 kb. LD decay is shown at around 50-kb at r² = 0.2 and the LD becomes obsolete at around 100-kb.
