Predictive Model and Software for Inbreeding-Purging Analysis of Pedigreed Populations
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The inbreeding depression of fitness traits can be a major threat to the survival of populations experiencing inbreeding. However, its accurate prediction requires taking into account the genetic purging induced by inbreeding, which can be achieved using

Mixture or mosaic? Genetic patterns in UK grey squirrels support a human-mediated ‘long-jump’ invasion mechanism [PDF]
, 2016 Aim Clarifying whether multiple introductions of a species remain relatively isolated or merge and interbreed is essential for understanding the dynamics of invasion processes.

Journal of Dairy Science: This study leveraged a growing dataset of producer-recorded phenotypes for mastitis, reproductive diseases (metritis and retained placenta), and metabolic diseases (ketosis, milk fever, and displaced abomasum) to investigate the potential presence of ...

The impact of self-incompatibility systems on the prevention of biparental inbreeding [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Inbreeding in hermaphroditic plants can occur through two different mechanisms: biparental inbreeding, when a plant mates with a related individual, or self-fertilization, when a plant mates with itself.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from two inbreeding bark beetle species (Coccotrypes) [PDF]
, 2003 We developed 14 microsatellite markers in Coccotrypes carpophagus and 14 in C. dactyliperda. These loci will be used for studying genetic structure and the level of inbreeding in populations in the Canary Islands and Madeira.

Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Environmental stress can have a profound effect on inbreeding depression. Quantifying this effect is of particular importance in threatened populations, which are often simultaneously subject to both inbreeding and environmental stress.

Evidence for inbreeding depression in a species with limited opportunity for maternal effects [PDF]
, 2015 It is often assumed that mating with close relatives reduces offspring fitness. In such cases, reduced offspring fitness may arise from inbreeding depression (i.e., genetic effects of elevated homozygosity) or from post-mating maternal investment.

Genomic selection requires genomic control of inbreeding
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2012 Background In the past, pedigree relationships were used to control and monitor inbreeding because genomic relationships among selection candidates were not available until recently.
