Abstract

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps increase power and precision in association mapping, define optimal marker spacing and identify recombination hot-spots and regions influenced by natural selection. Phase II of HapMap provides approximately 2.8-fold more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) than phase I for constructing higher resolution maps. LDMAP-cluster, is a parallel program for rapid map construction in a Linux environment used here to construct genome-wide LD maps with >8.2 million SNPs from the phase II data. Availability: The LD maps, LDMAP-cluster and documentation are available from: http://www.som.soton.ac.uk/research/geneticsdiv/epidemiology/LDMAP. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
