As an option, a representative marker is selected for each group. We provide an implementation of the grouping approach as a new function to the R\u00a0package . This package enables the calculation of the theoretical covariance between biallelic markers for half- or full-sib families and the derivation of representative markers. In case studies, we have shown that the number of groups comprising dependent markers was smaller and representative SNPs were spread more uniformly over the investigated chromosome region when the family stratification was respected compared to a population-LD approach. In a simulation study, we observed that sensitivity and specificity of a genome-based association study improved if selection of representative markers took family structure into account.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chromosome segments which frequently recombine in the underlying population can be identified from the matrix of pairwise dependence between markers.
