Predictive Model and Software for Inbreeding-Purging Analysis of Pedigreed Populations [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The inbreeding depression of fitness traits can be a major threat to the survival of populations experiencing inbreeding. However, its accurate prediction requires taking into account the genetic purging induced by inbreeding, which can be achieved using

Genomic Inbreeding and Relatedness in Wild Panda Populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Inbreeding and relatedness in wild panda populations are important parameters for panda conservation. Habitat loss and fragmentation are expected to increase inbreeding but the actual inbreeding levels in natural panda habitats were unknown.

Computing inbreeding coefficients accounting for unknown parents using pedigree-based metafounders [PDF]
JDS CommunicationsMissing pedigrees result in underestimated numerator relationship and inbreeding coefficients in a closed population. Recursive algorithms have been proposed to derive nonzero inbreeding coefficients accounting for unknown parents but can be ...

A modified indirect method for computing inbreeding coefficients [PDF]
Genetics Selection EvolutionThe performance of existing methods for computing inbreeding coefficients—including tabular-based methods, Cholesky decomposition-based methods, and indirect methods—has been limited by either memory usage, pedigree depth, or average half-sib family size.

The role of inbreeding in the extinction of a European royal dynasty. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The kings of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty (1516-1700) frequently married close relatives in such a way that uncle-niece, first cousins and other consanguineous unions were prevalent in that dynasty.

Evaluation of Inbreeding in the Slovak Simmental Breed and Its Effect on Length of Productive Life [PDF]
AnimalsThis study aimed to estimate the average inbreeding coefficient in Slovak Simmental dairy cattle and evaluate the effect of inbreeding on the length of productive life. All pedigrees included 463,282 animals dating back to 1914.

Genomic inbreeding coefficients using imputation genotypes: Assessing the effect of ancestral genotyping in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [PDF]
Journal of Dairy ScienceThe objective of this study was to assess the effect of using or not using the genotypes of the parents of a cow for imputing SNPs on the estimation of genomic inbreeding coefficients of cows. Imputation (i.e., genotyped plus imputed) genotypes from 68,127 Italian Holstein dairy cows registered in the Italian National Association of Holstein, Brown ...

Pedigree-based analysis of genetic variability in the Chinese Crested dog population in Poland [PDF]
Animal Science and Genetics, 2023 The aim of the study was to analyse the level of genetic diversity within the small population of Chinese Crested dogs bred in Poland, considering the common occurrence of hereditary diseases, which is probably linked to the high level of inbreeding ...

Genetic Diversity and the Impact of the Breed Proportions of US Brown Swiss in German Brown Cattle
Animals, 2021 Increase of inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity have large impact on farm animal genetic resources. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to analyse measures of genetic diversity as well as recent and ancestral inbreeding using pedigree data

Pedigree analysis in the Polish Red cattle population
Animal, 2021 The objective of this study was to describe the population structure and inbreeding level of the population of Polish Red Cattle (PRC). The structure of the breed was analysed in the context of the existing genetic resources conservation programme.
