A whole-genome scan for identifying selection acting on pairs of linked loci is proposed and implemented. The scan is based on , one of Ohta's 1982 measures of between-population linkage disequilibrium (LD). An approximate empirical null distribution for the statistic is suggested. Although the partitioning of LD into between-population components was originally used to investigate epistatic selection, we demonstrate that values of may also be influenced by single-locus selective sweeps with lin ...[more]
