Fig. 1From: A method combining a random forest-based technique with the modeling of linkage disequilibrium through latent variables, to run multilocus genome-wide association studiesIllustration of linkage disequilibrium. Human chromosome 22. The focus is set on a region of 41 SNPs. Various color shades indicate the strengths of the correlation between the pairs of SNPs. The darkest (red) shade points out the strongest correlations. The white color indicates the smallest correlations. Blocks of pairwise highly correlated SNPs are highlighted in black. For instance, the block on the far right encompasses 7 SNPs in linkage disequilibriumBack to article page
