Maintenance of genetic diversity in subdivided populations using genomic coancestry matrices. [PDF]
Mol Ecol Resour, 2023 AbstractFor both undivided and subdivided populations, the consensus method to maintain genetic diversity is the Optimal Contribution (OC) method. For subdivided populations, this method determines the optimal contribution of each candidate to each subpopulation to maximize global genetic diversity (which implicitly optimizes migration between ...

A note on the rationale for estimating genealogical coancestry from molecular markers [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2011 Background Genetic relatedness or similarity between individuals is a key concept in population, quantitative and conservation genetics. When the pedigree of a population is available and assuming a founder population from which the genealogical records ...

Analysis of population structure and genetic diversity in low-variance Saimaa ringed seals using low-coverage whole-genome sequence data [PDF]
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: This protocol demonstrates how a fragmented reference genome and low-coverage sequencing data can be efficiently utilized for population genetic analyses of a species with highly reduced genetic diversity.

Applying SNP-Derived Molecular Coancestry Estimates to Captive Breeding Programs [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2016 Captive breeding programs for wildlife species typically rely on pedigrees to inform genetic management. Although pedigree-based breeding strategies are quite effective at retaining long-term genetic variation, management of zoo-based breeding programs continues to be hampered when pedigrees are poorly known. The objective of this study was to evaluate

Practical implementation of optimal management strategies in conservation programmes: a mate selection method [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2001 The maintenance of genetic diversity is, from a genetic point of view, a key objective of conservation programmes. The selection of individuals contributing offspring and the decision of the mating scheme are the steps on which managers can control ...

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