3) Introduction


Linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay[1] is the most important and most common analysis in the population resequencing[2]. Special in the self-pollinated crops, the LD decay may not only reveal much about domestication and breed history[3], but also can reveal gene flow phenomenon, selection regions[1].However, to measure the LD decay, it takes too much resources and time by using currently existent software and tools. The LD decay studies also generate extraordinarily large amounts of data to temporary storage when you using the mainstream software "Haploview"[4], the classical LD processing tools. Effective use and analysis to get the LD decay result remains a difficult task for individual researchers. Here, we introduce PopLDdecay, a simple- efficient software for LD decay analysis, which processes the Variant Call Format (VCF)[5] file to produce the LD decay statistics results and plot the LD decay graphs. PopLDdecay is designed to use compressed data files as input or output to save storage space and it facilitates faster and more computationally efficient than the currently existent softwares. This software makes the LD decay pipeline significantly
