  "summary": "The Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) of unlinked loci can be used to estimate contemporary effective population size (Ne) of one to a few generations ago. In genomic datasets loci on different chromosomes are considered unlinked, but there are many more pairs of unlinked loci than there are independent pairs of chromosomes, resulting to confidence intervals (C.I.) being too narrow if the…",
