NOTE. Off-diagonal elements are estimates of R2, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Diagonal elements are allele frequencies (in boldface). Pairwise linkage disequilibrium was calculated using the pwld program in Stata (version 9; StataCorp). MS, microsatellite allelic length; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism.
