Linkage disequilibrium vs. pedigree: Genomic selection prediction accuracy in conifer species

Background The presupposition of genomic selection (GS) is that predictive accuracies should be based on population-wide linkage disequilibrium (LD). However, in species with large, highly complex genomes the limitation of marker density may preclude the ability to resolve LD accurately enough for G...
