=== Plotting of Pairwise Linkage Disequilibrium ===
In the main plot window, data points are colored according to their level of linkage disequilibrium (LD) of the each SNP with the index SNP. If users specify the region to display using an index SNP and flanking region, LD of all data points will be relative to the user-specified index SNP. If users specify the region to display using genome coordinates or a gene name, LocusZoom will automatically select the most significant SNP in the region as the index SNP. For all other SNPs in the plot, the color of the data point will reflect the pairwise LD with this index SNP. The default LD measure is r<sup>2</sup> calculated from the HapMap CEU population (release 22), but users have the option to replace this with D’ and of selecting the HapMap YRI, Hapmap CHB+JPT or 1000 Genomes CEU reference panels. Because we have pre-computed LD for all SNPs in HapMap CEU, plots will often generate more quickly if using the default LD information. SNPs with missing LD information are shown in grey.

To display LD from 1000G CEU, please substitute rsid's for 1000G naming convention (chrxx:xxxx) whenever possible. Because we have pre-computed LD for all SNPs in HapMap CEU, plots will often generate more quickly if using the default LD information. SNPs with missing LD information are shown in grey.
