AB A map of approximately independent linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks has many uses in statistical genetics. Current LD block maps are based on sparse recombination maps and only available for GRCh37 (hg19) and prior genome assemblies. We generated LD blocks for European (EUR) ancestry populations using a new large recombination map in GRCh38.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
