abstract = "Association mapping, also known as linkage disequilibrium mapping, is a relatively new and promising genetic method for complex trait dissection. Association map ping has the promise of higher mapping resolution through exploitation of historical recombination events at the population level, that may enable gene level mapping on non-model organisms where linkage-based approaches would not be feasible (Risch and Merikangas 1996; Nordborg and Tavare 2002). Association mapping utilizes ancestral recombinations and natural genetic diver sity within a population to dissect quantitative traits and is built on the basis of the linkage disequilibrium concept (Geiringer 1944; Lewontin and Kojima 1960). One of the working definitions of linkage disequilibrium (which here on will be referred to as LD) is the non-random co-segregation of alleles at two loci.",
