varLD: Linkage disequilibrium based selection signatures | A comprehensive tutorial

The video contains a comprehensive #tutorial for the #varLD software. varLD is a program for quantifying variation in #LinkageDisequilibrium patterns between populations, i.e. a method for analysis of #selectionSignatures based on linkage disequilibrium.

The tutorial contains the entire workflow, starting from pre-requisites, obtaining some SNP genotype data (if you need some), transforming said data to the format of varLD using #PLINK, running the varLD software, and visualizing the results.
