geeneiden
Geeneiden is a term used in genetics to refer to a set of neighboring genes or genetic loci that are typically inherited together due to limited recombination in that region of the chromosome. Geeneiden can be thought of as blocks of linked genetic variation, analogous to haplotype blocks, where the combination of alleles is more stable over generations than individual variants.
In population genetics, geeneiden reflect the local structure of recombination and mutation that shapes co-inheritance patterns.
Identification of geeneiden relies on patterns of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype structure. Tools and methods used
Applications of the geeneiden concept include fine-mapping of disease-associated regions, improving genotype imputation, and interpreting signals
Limitations include the fact that geeneiden boundaries are not fixed and can change with population history,
