Evolutionary Applications, 2021 The inbreeding coefficient (F) of individuals can be estimated from molecular marker data, such as SNPs, using measures of homozygosity of individual markers or runs of homozygosity (ROH) across the genome.

Population structure of the Trakehner Horse breed
Animal, 2009 The objective of this study was to examine the population structure of the Trakehner Horse breed. A total of 13 793 pedigree records were used for analysing the active breeding population and their ancestors dating back to 1950.

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

AllCoPol: inferring allele co-ancestry in polyploids
BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Background Inferring phylogenetic relationships of polyploid species and their diploid ancestors (leading to reticulate phylogenies in the case of an allopolyploid origin) based on multi-locus sequence data is complicated by the unknown assignment of ...

Sustainable long-term conservation of rare cattle breeds using rotational AI sires
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2008 The development of inbreeding in rotation breeding schemes, sequentially using artificial insemination (AI) sires over generations, was investigated for a full AI scheme. Asymptotic prediction formulae of inbreeding coefficients were established when the

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

Reduction of inbreeding in commercial females by rotational mating with several sire lines
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2004 A mating system to reduce the inbreeding of commercial females in the lower level was examined theoretically, assuming a hierarchical breed structure, in which favorable genes are accumulated in the upper level by artificial selection and the achieved ...

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.
