The decay of LD was found to be significantly different among chromosomes as well. The rate of LD decay was slower on BTA5 and 13, but more rapid on BTA29 than the average of the whole genome. This association in AN is presented in Table 4. The average LD for distances less than 30 kb was 0.29 for the whole genome, but higher for BTA5 and 13 (0.32 and 0.34, respectively), and lower for BTA29 (0.24). As LD was averaged over more extended distances, the trend between chromosomes remained (Table 4). There were consistently more SNP pairs with LD at least 0.3 on BTA5 and 13 than the whole genome average.
