The genomic coordinates of each SNP, together with its MAF, are available in Additional file 2. The values in the parentheses of swept radius are confidence interval of swept radius.
From this distribution, the estimated swept radius (the distance over which LD declines to ~37% of its initial value) is 8.2 Mb.
The swept radius for D' of individual chromosomes shows that LD is higher for the longer chromosomes than the shorter chromosomes (ρ = 0.7).
All backcross mice were genotyped using 87 microsatellite markers, the genome coverage of which was assessed by their position on the Mouse Genome Informatics database genetic map from The Jackson Laboratory and by applying a swept radius of 20 cM.
Coverage of the genome was estimated by taking the position of the marker loci on the Mouse Genome Database genetic map obtained from The Jackson Laboratory and applying a swept radius of 20 cM (Silver, 1995).
Fitting this model enabled estimation of the swept radius, the extent of LD that is useful for mapping [ 10] defined as the distance in kb over which LD declines to approximately 37% of its initial value.
The swept radii (the distance at which LD has declined to 1/e (~37%) of its initial value) are 11.6 and 13.7 cM for the above two methods, respectively.
Tests are performed using three cylinder radii to sweep a large range of stress gradients.
The radius of the right slot was swept from 1.50 to 2.20 μm with the intervals of 0.10 μm to optimize the probe structure.
The MD simulations demonstrate that such a huge cluster sweeps a nano particle (NP, 3 nm in radius) attached on a planar silicon target's surface.
