Building chromosome-wide LD maps

Bioinformatics. 2006 Aug 15;22(16):1933-4. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btl288. Epub 2006 Jun 16.

Abstract

Summary: BMapBuilder builds maps of pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) in either two or three dimensions. The optimized resolution allows for graphical display of LD for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a whole chromosome.

Availability: The program is coded in Java, which runs on all relevant operating systems, including Windows, Mac and Unix/Linux, and is available from http://bios.ugr.es/BMapBuilder.
