ESTIMATION OF THE COANCESTRY COEFFICIENT: BASIS FOR A SHORT-TERM GENETIC DISTANCE [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1983
ABSTRACT A distance measure for populations diverging by drift only is based on the coancestry coefficient θ, and three estimators of the distance D = -ln(1 - θ) are constructed for multiallelic, multilocus data. Simulations of a monoecious population mating at random showed that a weighted ratio of single-locus estimators performed ...

Inbreeding, effective population size, and coancestry in the Latxa dairy sheep breed [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2020
Traditionally, breeding programs have estimated and managed inbreeding based on pedigree information. The availability of genomic marker panels has made possible new alternatives to achieve more precise estimates, for example in case of missing pedigree.

Estimation of effective number of breeders from molecular coancestry of single cohort sample

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2008
AbstractThe effective population size, Ne, is an important parameter in population genetics and conservation biology. It is, however, difficult to directly estimate Ne from demographic data in many wild species. Alternatively, the use of genetic data has received much attention in recent years.

On the principle underlying the tabular method to compute coancestry

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1991
The tabular method to compute coancestry between two individuals is based on the principle that coancestry may be computed as the average coancestry between one individual and the parents of the other, on the condition that the former individual is not a direct descendent of the latter.

Inbreeding, Coancestry, and Covariance between Relatives for X-Chromosomal Loci

Journal of Heredity, 1989
Knowledge about the relationships between relatives for X-chromosomal loci is necessary to compute genetic variances and covariances for the genetic evaluation of individuals for economically important traits in livestock and poultry. Using a unified approach, we derived explicitly the coefficient of inbreeding for individuals and the coefficient of ...

The use of coancestry based on shared segments for maintaining genetic diversity

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2016
SummaryWe have evaluated the use of genomic coancestry coefficients based on shared segments for the maintenance of genetic diversity through optimal contributions methodology for populations of three different Austrian cattle breeds. This coancestry measure has been compared with the genomic coancestry coefficient calculated on a SNP‐by‐SNP basis and ...

Applications of Coancestry

1987
We can now evaluate the coancestry between specific relatives. Consider first the coancestry between an individual and one of its offspring, f(PO). If A and B are the parents of C, fAC is an example of a parent-offspring coancestry coefficient. From Eq. (25.5), $${f_{AC}} = \left( {1/2} \right)\left( {{f_{AA}} + {f_{AB}}} \right).$$
