MONTREAL, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Galileo Genomics announced today the completion of a panel of approximately 80,700 SNP markers covering 99.8% of the sequenced genome at a density optimized for the Quebec French Canadian Founder Population (QFP). This panel, known as the Quebec Linkage Disequilibrium Map (QLDM), is suitable for highly cost-effective genome-wide scans in heritable diseases to discover the common causative genes in these diseases. The QLDM is based upon the first completed genome wide evaluation of genetic sharing (Linkage Disequilibrium or LD) in any population. It is estimated that a similar LD Map for a general population would consist of over 500,000 ...
