Key Points

The research aims to determine the independence of assortments in human non-homologous chromosomes.
Utilized GPU acceleration for efficient linkage disequilibrium scans
Analyzed chromosome assortments particularly in the centromere region
Investigated the presence of inter-centromeric haplotypes
Human non-homologous chromosomes showed non-independent assortment in the centromere region
The findings suggest the existence of inter-centromeric haplotypes

Abstract

These findings indicate that human non‑homologous chromosomes do not assort fully independently in the centromere region, suggesting possible inter‑centromeric haplotypes.
