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 ...

Artificial selection with traditional or genomic relationships: consequences in coancestry and genetic diversity [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 Estimated breeding values (EBVs) are traditionally obtained from pedigree information. However, EBVs from high-density genotypes can have higher accuracy than EBVs from pedigree information. At the same time, it has been shown that EBVs from genomic data

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 ...

The use of frozen semen to minimize inbreeding in small populations [PDF]
, 2002 In this study, we compared the average coancestry and inbreeding levels for two genetic conservation schemes in which frozen semen from a gene bank is used to reduce the inbreeding in a live population.

Genetic Signatures of Coancestry within Surnames [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Surnames are cultural markers of shared ancestry within human populations. The Y chromosome, like many surnames, is paternally inherited, so men sharing surnames might be expected to share similar Y chromosomes as a signature of coancestry. Such a relationship could be used to connect branches of family trees, to validate population genetic studies ...

Drawing inferences about the coancestry coefficient [PDF]
Theoretical Population Biology, 2009 The coancestry coefficient, also known as the population structure parameter, is of great interest in population genetics. It can be thought of as the intraclass correlation of pairs of alleles within populations and it can serve as a measure of genetic distance between populations.

Evolutionary Applications, 2021 In breeding, optimal contribution selection (OCS) is one of the most effective strategies to balance short‐ and long‐term genetic responses, by maximizing genetic gain and minimizing global coancestry.

Studies on association of coefficient of coancestry with progeny performance in sugarcane
Journal of Sugarcane Research, 2021 The utilization of superior parental lines and identification of superior families enhance the genetic gain in sugarcane. To identify the superior parental lines and superior progenies, 1889 progenies derived from twenty crosses involving genetically ...

The effect of multiple paternity on genetic diversity during and after colonisation [PDF]
, 2012 In metapopulations, genetic variation of local populations is influenced by the genetic content of the founders, and of migrants following establishment.

Estimating Population-Level Coancestry Coefficients by an Admixture F Model [PDF]
Genetics, 2012 Abstract In this article, we develop an admixture F model (AFM) for the estimation of population-level coancestry coefficients from neutral molecular markers. In contrast to the previously published F model, the AFM enables disentangling small population size and lack of migration as causes of genetic differentiation behind a given level
