Inferring Coancestry in Population Samples in the Presence of Linkage Disequilibrium [PDF]
Genetics, 2012 Abstract In both pedigree linkage studies and in population-based association studies there has been much interest in the use of modern dense genetic marker data to infer segments of gene identity by descent (ibd) among individuals not known to be related, to increase power and resolution in localizing genes affecting complex traits.

Use of Cluster Analysis for Identifying Metafounders
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the metafounder approach, the relationship matrix of metafounders, Γ$$ \boldsymbol{\Gamma} $$ is used to transfer information on relationships between pedigree founders into the numerator relationship matrix A$$ \mathbf{A} $$, creating matrix AΓ$$ {\mathbf{A}}^{\boldsymbol{\Gamma}} $$.

Fast and accurate joint inference of coancestry parameters for populations and/or individuals.
PLoS Genetics, 2023 We introduce a fast, new algorithm for inferring from allele count data the FST parameters describing genetic distances among a set of populations and/or unrelated diploid individuals, and a tree with branch lengths corresponding to FST values.

Genetic variability of some Italian and Polish duck breeds [PDF]
, 2018 This study is aimed to estimate and compare the inter- and within-breed variability of duck populations under genetic conservation programmes. The following four duck breeds were analysed: Germanata Veneta (AGV) and Mignon (AMG) from Italy, Pekin Krajowy

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 ...

Reproduction partially compensates for human‐caused mortality in a cooperative breeder
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Reproductive output can vary widely among mammalian species. There are many drivers that affect reproductive output including evolutionary, environmental, population, social, and individual traits. Although several factors, including human‐caused mortality, can affect reproductive output, we generally have a poor understanding of how such ...

Testing the usefulness of the molecular coancestry information to assess genetic relationships in livestock using a set of Spanish sheep breeds [PDF]
, 2010 Recent studies have proposed the use of molecular coancestry coefficients as a measure of genetic variability and as a useful tool for conservation purposes.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Aims of the study are to examine patterns of range‐wide genetic differentiation and population structure in a headwater obligate salamander living in a geologically rich region, to identify genetically distinct populations and areas of gene flow between them. Location Oregon and Washington in the Pacific Northwest, United States of America.

Mating schemes for optimum contribution selection with constrained rates of inbreeding
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2000 The effect of non-random mating on genetic response was compared for populations with discrete generations. Mating followed a selection step where the average coancestry of selected animals was constrained, while genetic response was maximised.
