Abstract: Proposes a novel multilocus measure of linkage disequilibrium called chromosome segment homozygosity (CSH). Variability of CSH decreased as the number of markers in the chromosome segment was increased; Assertion that CSH is defined for a specific chromosome segment; Indication that CSH had a lower coefficient of variation than r⊃2.
