Comparison of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype diversity on macro- and microchromosomes in chicken

The chicken (Gallus gallus), like most avian species, has a very distinct karyotype consisting of many micro- and a few macrochromosomes. While it is known that recombination frequencies are much higher for micro- as compared to macrochromosomes, there is limited information on differences in linkag...
