LD decay estimated in IOI.

The relationship between LD and map distance was modeled by fitting two alternate non-linear regression models: a drift-recombination equilibrium model [36] or a modified recombination-drift model including low level of mutation and an adjustment for sample size [37]. Map distance at r2 = 0.1 was shown. Both average distance across six bi-parental mapping population and minimum distance from available mapping populations were used. Ne, effective population size; SE, standard error.
